After local communities raised safety concerns, the Department of Transport and Planning decided to pause the two landslip repair works on Melba Highway in Dixons Creek.
The department’s website announced the project will be paused until further notice.
“Despite these mitigations, we have continued to see incidents in the area, and a decision has been made to pause the works while we undertake a review,” it reads.
“In response to this, the project will be paused, and the Melba Highway will be reopened as of Saturday 22 February at 12 midday.
“We will keep the community informed of next steps and any changes to traffic management.”
