The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will be carrying out deck wearing surfacing works on South Mossman River Bridge on Captain Cook Highway. These works are part of our regular bridge maintenance program to ensure the continued safety and reliability of bridges on the state-controlled road network.

Crews will be on site between 6am and 6pm from Monday 28 April to Wednesday 14 May 2025, weather and construction conditions permitting, excluding Public Holidays and Sundays.

For the safety of road users and maintenance crews, changed traffic conditions will be in place including temporary speed limit reductions, and single lane operation under coordination of traffic controllers and/or traffic signals while the works are carried out.

Nearby properties may experience noise associated with the works, such as the sound of trucks, light machinery and vibrations while the work is carried out. The contractor will take all reasonable and practicable actions to minimise impacts and any disruptions to property owners, as well as other stakeholders.
 
Intermittent full closures of the road will be required at times to carry out the works. Road users can expect delays of up to 15-minute periods during the full closures. Road users should plan their journeys accordingly.

Work crews will ensure Emergency Services are provided with access if required.

Variable Message Signs (VMS) will be in place in key locations that will allow motorists the opportunity to take an alternate route. Changes in dates will be posted on the VMS.

If you require further information regarding these works, please do not hesitate to contact the TMR Cairns office by email cairns.office@tmr.qld.gov.au or via phone 1800 187 937.
