Roadworks & transport

1 active roadworks / incidents

  • Plan your journey. West Bank Road is closed either side of the Dam. Gates close approximately 5km from Woolomin, just past the camping ground, and on the southern side, approximately 4.5km from the Nundle Road intersection. This is a narrow road to turn a caravan. Please note road closure signage at either end of West Bank Road at intersections. It takes significant time for the water to recede, and significant road works are usually required to restore the road surface.West Bank Road06 Aug 2025 – 30 Jul 2026
