Released 01/01/2018
The ACT Government is asking motorists and other road users to exercise extreme caution due to the current weather conditions. Several closures will be put in place from approximately 7 am tomorrow (Wednesday 13 July 2016) morning.
This will mean the following rural roads will be closed:
· Corin Road
· Bendora Road
· Mount Franklin Road at Piccadilly Circus
· Two Sticks Road
· Orroral Ridge Road (already closed)
· Booroomba Rocks Road (already closed)
The dirt sections of Brindabella Road and Boboyan Road will only be open to four-wheel drive vehicles.
Fire trails in Namadgi National Park will also be closed.
Gates will be locked at some of these locations and will be opened when conditions improve and become safer.
It is hoped that by late morning Corin Road will be able to be opened to Square Rock car park so people can visit Corin Forest.
Members of the public are strongly urged to resist the temptation to head to the Brindabella mountains in the pursuit of snow. The road conditions are dangerous and the rain, wind and snow is causing trees to fall.
For more information on road closures visit www.tccs.act.gov.au or Access Canberra on 13 22 81.
