TMR announces that nighttime maintenance and inspection works on the Barron River bridge on the Kennedy Highway will continue as part of the February program.
The move to night works follows a successful trial in November 2025, which resulted in shorter delays and reduced impacts on the community.
The quarterly maintenance and inspection program ensures the Barron River bridge remains safely in operation while TMR deliver a replacement structure.
The works will occur between 9pm and 4am each day from Monday February 2 to Friday February 27, 2026.
The bridge will operate as single lane over the four weeks between 9pm and 4am and for the final two weeks (February 16-27) short, intermittent full closures will be needed.
Variable Message Signs (VMSs) will be in place on the approaches to the work site to ensure motorists are aware of the changed traffic conditions. Any changes in dates due, for instance, to poor weather, will be posted on the VMSs.
