Finally, traffic restrictions lifted on Alexandra Range
TRAFFIC restrictions have been lifted on the Alexandra Range.
Contractors have wrapped up essential roadworks along Cape Tribulation Rd. A further seven sites along this busy tourism route – damaged during ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper – have now been repaired, meaning traffic control measures are no longer required.
As from last Saturday, the 5am to midnight closure and vehicle restrictions will also be lifted, restoring full access for residents, visitors and tourism operators.
Crews are scheduled to return in September to complete repairs at the final two sites.
However, any traffic delays during this phase are expected to be significantly shorter.
Douglas Shire Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said “it’s been a challenging time for residents north of the Daintree River and I want to thank them for their patience and resilience while these vital works were carried out”.
“Tourism operators working to tight schedules will also be relieved, as travel through to Cape Tribulation becomes smoother and more predictable,” she said.
