Transport for NSW Traffic Alert: For our collective info. AAP is sorry to hear this update...It felt like we were only just getting the last landslips sorted.

26 MAY 2025
Extended closure of Oxley Highway due to landslips

Motorists are advised the Oxley Highway between Forbes River and Clay roads will remain closed until further notice because of landslips caused by recent extreme weather.

More than 100 new landslips have been detected on this section of the highway since heavy rainfall over the past week, and engineers are urgently assessing damage and planning clean up operations and long-term repairs.

Clean up of the highway will be carried out as soon as it safe to do so, but with a substantial amount of mud to move and damage to the road, a firm date when the highway can reopen to traffic cannot be determined at this stage.

Transport for NSW will keep the community informed as more details become available.

Motorists are advised to use the Gwydir Highway, Waterfall Way or Bruxner Highway for travel between the Tablelands and the coast.

Lane and speed restrictions are in place along sections of Waterfall Way, which were also damaged during the extreme weather.

Operators of oversize and/or overmass vehicles should plan their route using the NHVR Route Planner to ensure travel on approved roads.

Motorists are also reminded of the upcoming planned closure of the Gwydir Highway at Jackadgery Bridge from 11am Saturday 31 May to noon Sunday 1 June for essential maintenance work.

The bridge will reopen at 8am Sunday 1 June to light vehicles only. Heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonne will need to wait until noon Sunday 1 June to access the bridge. Transport for NSW thanks motorists for their patience during this time.

For more information on the Oxley Highway, visit https://www..livetraffic.com/incident-details/235523, download the Live Traffic NSW App or call 132 701.
