After a long time in limbo while an engineering solution was found, funding obtained and tenders then let, repairs to Jamberoo Mountain Road are now motoring along.

Despite this, the latest estimate from Council is that completion is still 3 to 6 months away.

So far, the 78 piles needed to stabilise the downside of the road have been manufactured, drilled and filled, with 32 of them further secured with a capping beam in one section.

All of the pylons have now been installed

Earthworks to stabilise the uphill side of the road have begun, and after that the final section to be repaired will be able to be accessed by the workers.

The road has been closed between The Abbey and Misty’s Lane since July last year, impacting residents and causing hardship to businesses relying on its use.

Work has also started constructing the cage and gabion baskets needed to stabilise Foxground Road, although this is impossible to continue in any rain event due to an active rivulet.

Wallaby Hill Road repairs will commence shortly, and repairs to Gipps Drive and Cliff Road will follow when Foxground Road is completed.
