Road closures and water over road

25 Jul 2016 3:26 PM -
Tweet

Due to water over road, Forbes Shire Council advises Corridgery Road (between Bedgerabong Road and Yarrabandai Road) remains closed.

Bundaburrah Crossing (Farnell Street/Show Street) is closed to traffic, except B-Doubles.

Limestone Road, School Road (western end leading to Limestone Road) and Forest Road (east of Central West Livestock Exchange) are closed to all traffic due to water damage.

There is also water over road at Johnny Woods Crossing (Wambat Street), Bedegerabong Road (near Little Plains), Yarrabandai Road at the intersection of Corridgery Road (known as The 4 Ways) and Pinnacle Road (Garema).

These roads have been signposted and motorists should proceed with caution.

Main Road 237 (Gooloogong to Grenfell) and Boxfield Road (Goonigal Creek near Cowra Shire boundary) are now open.

The 3 tonne limit on the unsealed road network is still in place and will be reviewed at 10am tomorrow.

Should you have any queries, or wish to report water over road, please do not hesitate to contact Engineering and Technical Services on 6850 2874 between 8.30am and 5pm, Monday to Friday or 1300 978 633 after hours.
