Overview
Summary
Taylor’s Crossing originally comprised of low flow culverts with concrete and rock causeway. In most floods / heavy rain events, this causeway is submerged and overtopped by creek flow. The original causeway was damaged and sections washed away during Cyclone Jasper flood event in December 2023.
Two options were considered. The first was a more enhanced low flow culvert structure with concrete causeway and the second was a bridge. After looking at fish passage and flood resilient requirements and value for money the bridge option has been selected.
Option 1: Low flow culvert with concrete causeway
Option 2: Bridge structure
Update – May 2025
Queensland Reconstruction Authority has approval funds for the bridge option. The contract for construction has been awarded to NQ Civil Constructions.
