The GRDM construction team has continued with the upgrading of the Gwaiing Road, nearing the completion of the placement of the final gravel layer on the right-hand side lane for the full length of the project.
Once this layer has cured and the final test results have been issued, the layer will then be sealed with a temporary bituminous seal.
Following ongoing assessments and close monitoring of the landfill site and the recent fire incident, we can now confirm that the site is safe to reopen.
We urge all users to proceed with caution and to strictly adhere to the instructions provided by personnel on site.
Please note:
• A designated area at the top section has been reserved exclusively for soil disposal.
