About the project

In September 2024 there was a landslide on the Lyell Highway between Hayes and Rosegarland next to the Timtumilli Minanya/River Derwent due to flooding of the river.

Since the landslide, the highway has been reduced to a single lane. This section of the highway is safe to travel on and we have been doing site investigations to develop the design for the repair work here. The repairs will create long term stability of the road and the roadside.

We will be talking to community and key stakeholders if alternative routes or road closures will be needed during construction.

Timing

Investigations are currently happening to help develop the design for the repair work on the Lyell Highway. Construction is expected to begin in mid-May 2025. The repairs will create long term stability of the road and the roadside.
