Road Closure

North Forbes Road (SR 85) remains closed to all vehicles approx. 12km east of Condobolin due to water over the road.

Council regrets the inconvenience caused, however, the preservation of the road asset is of prime importance. Motorists are asked to use extreme caution when travelling in the wet weather.

Please avoid walking or driving through flood waters, it may be deeper and faster flowing than anticipated and/or the road may have suffered extensive damage hidden beneath the water.

For further information please contact Lachlan Shire Council Infrastructure Services Department on 02 6895 1900.
