Road Closure Update - Freight Routes

National Road Transport Association

Northern NSW

The Pacific Highway remains closed between Ballina and Glenugie and between Cudgera Creek Road and Gold Coast Highway. Due to current flood levels and weather forecasts, it is unlikely to open today (Tuesday, 1 March).

The Bruxner Highway is also closed at various locations between Ballina and Lismore and Lismore and Casino. There is currently no time frame as to when it will reopen.

The Gwydir Highway from Grafton to Glen Innes has reopened.

We continue to assess all roads and are considering every option to get heavy vehicles into towns where supplies are need. Industry should check both LiveTraffic.com and QLDTraffic.qld.gov.au before travelling.

Due to the east coast low that is expected to impact the South East Coast for the next few days, escarpment passes such as the Kings Highway and Brown Mountain may close. Please plan you journey by visiting LiveTraffic.com for real time traffic information.
