Some roads cautiously reopened with three tonne load limit conditions in place have safely passed the initial trial and are now being reopened to regular traffic, allowing alternative bin arrangements to be lifted those areas.
Roads reopened include Avoca Dell Drive at Murray Bridge, Boggy Lake Road at Mulgundawah, Sunnyside Road at Sunnyside, Bowman Street, Stacy Street and Tolmer Road at Wellington, Matthew Circuit at Woodlane, along with sections of North Bokara and South Bokara Roads at Mypolonga and Toora Road at Toora.
The Council is working with contractors to have roadside bin collection reinstated where possible.
Boggy Lake, Hume, Toora and half of Woodlane Reserves have joined the list of reopened parklands.
The Rural City of Murray Bridge Chief Executive Officer Michael Sedgman said he hoped recovery progress would enable more residents and visitors to reconnect over the long weekend.
“Every new stage of the recovery process is a win for our resilient and Thriving Communities,” he said.
“Some effects will be felt for a long time, but this Easter long weekend we hope that by reopening more of our previously flood affected roads and reserves, we have been able to allow people to reconnect.”
Parklands and reserves where family get-togethers and Easter egg hunts can be held are available on the Council website Park Finder, while playgrounds at Sturt, Thiele and Woodlane Reserve remain closed due to flood damage.
A full list of Council services and facilities impacted by the Murray River flood is available on The Rural City of Murray Bridge website and updates will be posted to the Council’s Facebook page.
