The NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) has advised that the Elliott Way will not open as planned.
Concrete barriers were installed on Thursday and as this work was completed a fresh rockfall has come down and crushed a section of the barriers. An additional two rock falls occurred at separate sites which were thought to be triggered by the recent rain (despite them occurring at least 12 hours after the rain had ceased).
Further site assessment and mitigation works are required before NPWS can be assured that the road corridor is safe for public use.
NPWS apologises for the ongoing inconvenience and will prioritise these works to progress an opening as soon as possible.
Other road updates:
- Cabramurra to Khancoban Road (KNP5/Swampy Plain Creek Road) is now open.
- Blue Waterholes Trail (from Long Plain Road intersection to Blue Waterholes) will be closed until 15 December, 2022 while upgrade works are completed.
