ROADS AND FERRY UPDATE & TRAVEL WARNING

Since recent wet weather, our crews are working hard to re-open the main road north of the Daintree River.

We appreciate the kind responses from many locals who understand everyone involved is doing their best in challenging times to meet the needs of the majority.

Please note – all sections of the route can close at short notice if adverse weather occurs.

• From Wednesday 17 January, the road will only be open from 7am to 7.30am, and 4pm to 4.30pm in both directions.
• Crews will be tackling one of the most complex and challenging clearing jobs on top of Noah’s Range.
• To successfully complete this tricky operation we need your help, and understanding, and mother nature on our side!
