Transport for NSW will be closing Terania Street, North Lismore, between Tweed and Peate Streets from 7pm tonight (Friday, 22 September), as a result of damage to the rail bridge.

Recent inspections have identified damage to the non-operational rail-over-road bridge on Terania Street, North Lismore.

Further inspections will be required to determine necessary repairs and to ensure the road can be reopened to motorists safely.

Road users are advised that Terania Street will remain closed to all vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists until further investigation and repair work can be carried out, with a timeframe for this still to be determined.

Detour routes will be in place while investigations and repair work are carried out.

A detour for all vehicles is available via Wilson Street, Elliott Road and Ballina Road.

Light vehicles can access Bridge and Terania streets via Dawson and Woodlark streets, which are not suitable for heavy vehicles. Motorists should allow up to 10 minutes extra travel time.

A detour for pedestrians and cyclists is available from Terania Street via Pine, Crane and Tweed Streets. 

Heavy and light vehicle drivers should plan their journey and allow extra travel time, drive to the conditions and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.

Transport for NSW thanks the community for its patience during this time.
