Nearly three months after fire damaged Bangalow’s Byron Creek Bridge, engineers are still trying to assess repair options.
Structural analysis of the bridge on Bangalow Road is due to happen next month, Byron Shire Council staff said last week.
Fire damaged the bridge badly in early January and it has only been open to vehicles with a weight of up to 6.5 tonnes since early February.
Staff at the time said it was part of a significant route for many, with thousands of vehicles using it each day and school bus routes impacted.
Council staff were asking drivers to allow extra travel time from the thirteenth to the fifteenth of April during the hours of 7am to 5pm, weather permitting.
Traffic would be reduced to one lane of traffic under traffic control, staff said.
