Mossman – Mount Molloy Road, 2024 Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements reconstruction works
Reconstruction works on Mossman – Mount Molloy Road are underway to repair landslip sites caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper in December 2023.
These works are part of a long-term disaster recovery program to restore critical infrastructure and ensure the safety of road users.
Repairs are being carried out on more than 10 sites on Mossman – Mount Molloy Road.
Key reconstruction measures include:
- stabilising slopes to prevent erosion and landslides
- installing advanced soil anchoring systems
