Road reseal underway on River Terrace, Mullumbimby

Mullumbimby residents can look forward to a smoother commute as the council embarks on the construction of a new road on River Terrace. Spanning 330 meters, the road resealing project commenced on Wednesday, April 10, with an estimated completion time of three weeks, contingent upon weather conditions.

Funded through the NSW Government’s Fixing Local Roads grant program, the resealing initiative addresses the signifcant damage inficted upon River Terrace during the 2022 food. Phil Holloway, Council’s Director of Infrastructure Services, emphasized the road’s deteriorated state and the necessity of its reconstruction to enhance community safety and convenience.

“We are thrilled to undertake the replacement of the current road pavement, alongside the rebuilding and fortifcation of the sub-surface road,” stated Mr. Holloway.

“This effort will culminate in the installation of a smooth, new road that promises enduring benefts for the community.”

To expedite construction efforts, River Terrace will be closed at both ends, from the intersection of Burringbar Street to the intersection of Dalley Street. While access to the street will be maintained for local traffc and buses, vehicles will be directed to follow a one-way route, entering from Dalley Street and exiting via Burringbar Street.

The council remains committed to minimizing disruptions while delivering vital infrastructure improvements, ensuring residents can enjoy safer and more effcient travel routes in Mullumbimby.
