Carter Road Bridge will be closed for approximately four weeks to allow for essential water main replacement. While the exact start date has not been confirmed, we anticipate that work will commence in the first half of April 2026.
Bridge Closure Details
- Carter Road will be closed from just past the Bowen Children’s Centre (BCC) drop‑off area to the entrance to Belterra.
- Pedestrian access will be maintained. Traffic flaggers will be in place to escort pedestrians safely across the bridge.
- Vehicle access to the regular BCC drop‑off area remains the same so drop-off procedures should not be affected for those students.
Alternative Vehicle Route to Belterra, Island Pacific School (IPS), and Cates Hill Chapel
Please use the Mt Gardner Road access point to Carter Road (beside the gas station).
To support single lane traffic flow up and down Carter Road, temporary traffic lights will be installed:
- One at the bottom of the single‑lane hill beside the gas station
- One by the entrance to Belterra
Traffic delays are expected, though they should be minimal.
