A 'road closed' means that road is unsafe to travel on. Find alternate ways which are free from stormwater or wait until all clear is given for that road.
Road Updates for the Princes Highway can be found via Live Traffic NSW.
Please don't drive through floodwaters.
Regardless if you 'know' the road, if you see it is flooded, turn around and find a different way to get to your destination.
For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW SES on 132 500.
For evacuation assistance, contact your closest Police Station.
