WORK returned to the Banora Point Highway Upgrade site today following a break over Christmas.

The $359 million project had been shut from December 23 until today for the festive season.

A community information session has been planned for later this month.

It will be held on Tuesday, January 17, at Club Banora, Leisure Dr, Banora Point from 5.30-7pm.

The meeting is designed to update residents and let people draw attention to any problems.

Those interested in attending are urged to book by calling 07 5589 7200.

The project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments.

It began in December 2009 and is expected to be finished by the end of 2012.

The upgrade involves about 170 workers and extends about 2.5km from the northern end of Barneys Point bridge to the southern end of the Tugun Bypass.
