Road Works and Closures

Gunnedah Shire Council has released a detailed program covering the next six weeks of unsealed road maintenance activities. This program will be updated on a weekly basis. It is a guide only, as Council continually assesses roads and prioritises activities for completion.

As a result of the flood events, Council’s cyclic grading program and gravel roads re-sheeting program has been affected.

Many roads will require reshaping and table drain formation as part of the maintenance program prior to re-sheeting (if applicable).

Maintenance grading and re-sheeting is prioritised and undertaken consistent with allocated funds.

The quicker cyclic maintenance grading program will commence once the more time-consuming reshaping works are completed.

Council asks for your patience as it addresses these issues. Please drive to prevailing road conditions and do not enter closed roads. 

The following Road Closure Information provides updates on closures and changed traffic conditions due to Flooding/Bushfires, Traffic Accidents or Planned Roadworks.

• Drivers may be liable for any damage that they cause to a road that is closed to their vehicle type
• Travelling on roads covered with water is extremely dangerous and should be avoided
• Road conditions can change without warning and drivers should travel with caution
• Unsealed roads damage very easily when they are wet and only essential journeys should be undertaken until these roads dry out
• Council prioritises repairs with higher trafficked roads and bus routes usually receiving attention first.
