I don't have any detail yet but it is my understanding they are mobile again. So to save BIG bucks check the depth first.

the cape road is a main highway, you will have no dramas as there are vehicles coming and going both ways, so you will not be stranded with no help. You will end up camping and travelling with mobs of people so enjoy the trip and people around you .Col

Just got back on friday night (I live near Cairns).
like a highway, went up the telegraph track and then took the northern bypass and came back down the OTT to Cockatoo creek and then cut through the heathlands to join the southern bypass .Grader is between Bamaga and ferry.
I have a Gq patrol (intercooled turbo diesel with rear air locker)and towed a camper trailer. i never used the locker.
road is from reports very corigated on southern bypass from Captain Billys turn off to joining the OTT (north side) thus taking a run through the heathlands on return. IF heading south on the OTT you may need help getting up one of the crossings near Bramwel r/house. Walk all creek crossings, some have holes and deeper parts these are avoidable by walking and checking.
Alot of vehicles have run into problems at Nolan creek (north of Twinn Falls on OTT) I took the bypass and ferry crossing.Some corrigations on northern by pass but as always drive to conditions.
hope i have been some help
