Kirrama Range Road Now Open
THE newly re-sheeted 18 kilometres of Kirrama Range Road is now complete, with the road fully opening today. Works improve safety and drive-ability of the road.
The Kirrama Range Road is a stunning drive through parts of the World Heritage Wet Tropics in our region, and also passes over many bridges, a number of spectacular lookouts and through the Murray Upper National Park and Girringun National Park.
The works, which were funded through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements Restoration of Essential Public Areas were in response to the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Niran and the associated lowpressure system event which occurred in early March 2021.
During the project, the road was closed to traffic at certain times of the day, and Council thanks community who frequent the road for their patience during this time.
The upgrades are jointly funded by the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments and approved by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority
