WATER OVER ROAD
Traffic control conditions are also in place on the Newell Highway between Marsden and Wyalong due to water over road.
The Mid Western Highway, 50km west of Grenfell, has 200mm of water over the road. Proceed with caution.
Water is also over the road at Pinnacle Road (Garema area), Coonambro Way (Cookamidgera area), Yellowbox Road (off MR377E), Ashburnham Road (Cookamidgera area-two locations), Yarrabandai Road (at Yarrangong Road intersection, Gunning Gap, Bollingers Road intersection and various causeways), Bedgerabong Road (Monwonga Road intersection) and Bogoin Lane (200 metres from intersection with Bedgerabong Road).
These roads have been signposted and are still open. Motorists should proceed with caution.
Council reminds residents that it is not only an offence to drive through a road closed sign but also dangerous as the road pavement condition is not known and there could be logs submerged in the water.
