The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) would like to provide an update about maintenance works on Malanda Creek bridge on Topaz Road, Malanda.

The works will involve deck repairs and asphalt resurfacing to ensure the continued reliability of the bridge. This will improve safety and travelling conditions for all road users.

Crews will be onsite between 6 am and 6 pm on Monday 22 September – Friday 3 October 2025, weather and construction conditions permitting.

For the safety of road users and maintenance crews Malanda Creek bridge will be closed for the duration of the works and detours will be in place. Motorists are advised to use Heidke Road, Russell Road and Moore Road.

Variable Message Signs (VMS) will be in place at key locations to ensure motorists are aware of the bridge closure and detour. Changes in dates due to poor weather will be posted on the VMS.

Nearby properties may experience noise associated with the works, such as the sound of trucks, light machinery and vibrations while the work is carried out. The contractor will take all reasonable and practicable actions to minimise impacts and any disruptions to property owners, as well as other stakeholders.

If you require further information about these works, please do not hesitate to contact the TMR Cairns office by email at cairns.office@tmr.qld.gov.au or by telephone on 1800 187 937.
