Northern section of Bowraville Road at Spicketts Creek November 2013

 - the following photographs show the work completed in November 2013,  on the corners damaged in March 2009, with a reminder of what the road looked like just after the storm.

Google blogger has decided on the order of photographs despite all my attempts to get them in the right order from north to south

Bowraville Road - Spicketts Creek bends repairs March/April 2013



Work was stopped on repairs to Bowraville road at Spicketts Creek, because the weight limit on Martells road temporary bridge means contractors cannot move equipment and supplies  to and from the work site. Contractors now bring supplies in via Range Road - if dry.
