Landslip blocks traffic
Gosford Council has installed four new jersey barriers to an area on Empire Bay Dr, opposite Tulani Ave, Daleys Point, following a landslip on Tuesday, January 29.
The slip blocked the west bound lane and alternative traffic flow was initiated by Council traffic controllers.
The lane was reopened to traffic at 4:45am, around two hours after Council's after hours duty overseer was notified of the slip by Roads and Maritime Services' Traffic Management Centre.
According to Gosford Council's maintenance manager Mr Phil Mitchell, preliminary investigations confirmed that the slip appeared related to the failure of a private residential drainage system and Council officers have since contacted the property owner to restore the batter.
