Mullumbimby Road will reopen to two-way traffic on Wednesday 3 December, subject to weather.
The completion of the seal means diversions are no longer in place and all drivers, including heavy vehicles, can freely use Mullumbimby Road to get in and out of town.
"This is great news for the community who have been taking alternative routes out of Mullumbimby for the last seven weeks," Phil Holloway, Director Infrastructure Services, said.
"This is one of the most challenging road projects we have done with Mullumbimby Road the second busiest in the Shire and the work areas severely constrained," Mr Holloway said.
The focus has been on the team to open it to two-way traffic, pushing through with fair bit disruptions and wet weather to complete Stage 2. Stage 3 heavy patching works are planned to start in late January to February 2026, subject to weather.
"Other work such as guard rail installation, line marking and signage will continue to be undertaken on Mullumbimby Road in December to finish the project but with the seal finished traffic flows in both directions are back to normal and waiting times for drivers should be minimal," Mr Holloway said.
"Thank you to the community for their patience during this project - we know it has been inconvenient for many. I would like to also thank our staff who have been pushing so hard to get this project delivered," he said.
"It's been a complex and difficult job and to have the road open more than a month ahead of schedule is the evidence of their commitment," Mr Holloway said.
