Good news for Mitchell tonight as the Department of Main Roads has decided to re-open the bridge which was battered in the floods.

The Bridge, which part of the vital Brisbane to Darwin national highway, was due to be replaced in 2013 and there were fears it might not re-open.

However the Department said the bridge would tonight under traffic control and load restrictions.

The bridge will carry load and width limitations.

It sustained structural damage after being struck by debris but visual inspections by engineers, load testing and observations using sonar equipment has confirmed it is safe to reopen with load restrictions.

A 5t load limit currently applies to the Warrego Highway between Roma and Mitchell however permits for essential supplies up to 42.5 tonnes GVM can be applied for from the department.

Temporary closures will continue as more debris will need to be removed, handrails rebuilt and some approaches reconstructed.

The link between Mitchell and Morven is still closed at this stage but will open tomorrow subject to RoadTek completing necessary works.

Meanwhile Ergon Energy has restored power to all customers in Roma and Mitchell where it was safe to do so.

The high-voltage network that supplies homes and business is fully operational and the low-voltage service lines to individual customers have been reinstated where possible.

About 45 properties in Mitchell and 64 in Roma have yet to be reconnected, either because of inundation or work is required by a licensed electrical contractor before they that can be done safely.

Ergon Energy is appealing to people using high-pressure water cleaners to exercise extreme caution and not to spray water near power points, electrical equipment or appliances during the clean-up.
