Wollondilly Shire experienced record rainfall throughout March and April of 2022 during what had already been a wet summer. The heavy rainfall triggered geotechnical instability across the shire which caused significant damage to Council road infrastructure through landslips and rock falls.

Council is in the process of repairing road damage sites through assistance of NSW Disaster Assistance funding.

 

Barkers Lodge Road suffered a major upslope and minor downslope landslide.

The downslope slip has been cleared of debris and buttressed with a geofabrics and rock fill.

The upslope landslide has been cleared and field investigations undertaken to design a retaining structure which will allow the road to be opened to normal traffic movements.

The rectification and time of delivery for this site is dependent upon the input from ARTC of which these discussions are underway.

The road will be under contraflow traffic management until the upslope landslip has been remediated.

Please take care when driving through the site and allow additional travel time.
