Jerona Causeway Replacement Completed
Burdekin Shire Council is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Jerona Causeway replacement project.
Jerona Road is officially open to all traffic, ensuring improved access and connectivity for the community.
Final clean-up works are scheduled for completion next week, weather permitting.
As a result of the completed upgrades, the load restriction that has been in place since early 2023 has now been lifted.
This project was proudly jointly funded by the Australian Government and Queensland Government under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, following the significant rain event experienced in January 2023.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the completion of the Jerona Causeway replacement is a significant milestone for the Jerona community and visitors.
“This upgraded infrastructure not only improves access for residents and visitors but also ensures our region is more resilient to future weather events,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.
“We are grateful for the support provided by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.”
Council thanks the community for their patience and understanding during the construction period.
