Deputy Premier
Waterfall Way has re-opened following extensive landslips between Dorrigo and Bellingen, restoring access for local communities and businesses.
Deputy Premier and Minister responsible for Disaster Recovery John Barilaro said crews from Transport for NSW, Bellingen Council and local contractors had worked around the clock over the Easter long weekend to re-open the road that’s been closed since Friday, 19 March after 500mm of rain caused multiple landslips.
“We know the importance of this road to local communities and visitors, so restoring access as quickly as we could has always been our priority,” Mr Barilaro said.
“It’s been a challenging task with five major landslips and 12 minor slips along this key stretch of road, but we’ve had trucks hauling tonnes of material every day and crews carrying out geotechnical assessments and slip stability works.
