A landslip during 2022 flooding destroyed part of this road, impacting businesses and adding hours to school drop offs. But with complex repair work on the way, the route is expected to be reopened to at least one lane later this year.
Residents say the landslip has negatively affected businesses and added hours to school drop-offs
Local tourism operator Brad Sims from Discover Tyalgum said the announcement was a huge relief, given the enormous burden the landslip had placed on residents and businesses. Mr Sims said the closure also had a detrimental impact on businesses because "lots of tourists stopped coming"."People went on the dole for the first time in 15 to 20 years."
"We run our own truck four times a week to market, so you've got an extra hour's travelling time to each market," he said. Tweed Shire Council Mayor Chris Cherry acknowledged the damaged road had been "incredibly frustrating" for residents and thanked them for their patience.
