Ther new eastern has been sealed but is narrower and not suitable for wide loads.
Wide loads will have to access Tyalgum via Chillingham.
Contractor SEE Civil, will now prepare to commence piling on the upslope side of the slip site.
Traffic will remain under traffic light control while work continues, however the rainfall trigger which was previously in place for safety reasons is no longer necessary.
Ground monitoring will continue and in the unlikely event of any significant ground movement, the road would be closed. The community would be advised should any such action arise.
Temporary fencing will be retained at either end of the work site to slow traffic through the work site.
Council will still maintain an alert system, working closely with SEE Civil, which is an advisory to commuters regarding the status of the site.
The expected completion date for permanent works remains mid-2025.
Access through the slip site remains open to all vehicles under traffic lights. Please note the 40 km/h speed limit along the access road.
Motorists are asked to please keep to the 40 km/h speed limit on the temporary access roadway and to be mindful of local wildlife.

Any injured wildlife reports can be phoned through to 02 6672 4789.
