It's Father's Day 2025 will no doubt have many families using the Lismore section of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail.

Lismore City Council gave an update on Lismore’s 16.3km Rail Trail section of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail.

It achieved another milestone during August, with 80% of the twenty bridges and ten bypasses now complete.

Lismore City Council shared a time-lapse construction of Back Creek Bridge at Leycester, showcasing the progress achieved, moving us closer towards opening its section later this year.

Construction crews continue to focus on bridges, road crossings, drainage and rest areas.

The project team has welcomed input from community, historical and Aboriginal groups into the development of interpretive signage for the Rail Trail that is currently under development.

Business education workshops were held this week to help businesses gain the most from the Rail Trail, to understand the opportunities, as well as provide practical advice on how the Rail Trail can transform Lismore and provide greater benefits for local businesses.
