Foxtail bridge now one lane
THE Foxtail Avenue Bridge at Cardwell has opened to one lane.
A Cassowary Coast Regional Council spokeswoman said that following severe erosion at One Mile Creek, which caused significant damage to the road and disrupted access to nearby residences during recent floods, the bridge was now one lane.
“Restoration efforts have been complex, as essential services such as water, wastewater and power infrastructure were exposed during the damage,” she said.
“While temporary access has been established, repairs to these essential services are still required.
“(The) council will continue to work closely with the relevant parties to ensure these repairs are completed promptly and safely. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of (the) council and contractors, work was carried out over (last) weekend to ensure access is now available to the public.
“Please note that the QR access to Commercial Drive is now closed. Additionally, the Port Hinchinbrook boat ramp has reopened, with one half of the ramp available for use.”
