“Main Roads have been working tirelessly to open the cyclone-ravished road and a week of drier weather and subsiding river crossings has allowed them to fast-track extensive repair work”,
Main Roads graders have now crossed the Archer River and are progressing southwards towards
Coen.
“This is a fantastic effort by these State Government employees, and they should be congratulated for their dedication and effort”,
The PDR is the economic lifeline to the region and consideration has been given to get tourist operators into the region as quickly as possible.
Work has also commenced opening up community access roads to the PDR so that cattle property owners and Indigenous communities have access.
“At this stage the opening date is set for the 31st May, weather permitting, but if we continue to get good dry weather we may even be able to do a little better than that”,
All the best
Eric
