Road closures

Check here for information about temporary road closures or activities that may impact on traffic conditions on the Central Coast.

Below is a list of planned and unplanned road closures that may impact travel times and/or routes on Central Coast roads under Council’s responsibility. This may include closures due to significant weather events, major road construction works or major events. This is not an exhaustive list, road closures with minimal potential impact are not included. 

Please note: 

  • This information is updated during business hours from 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday.  Major road impacts and closures outside of business hours are listed on Council's Facebook page.  A natural disaster or severe weather event can significantly impact our road network with little notice, this page may also be updated outside of business hours during these events, with alerts also posted on Council's Facebook page
  • For information on State managed roads (i.e. main roads such as Central Coast Highway and the M1), download the LiveTraffic app or go online to www.livetraffic.com.

Wisemans Ferry Road

A section of Wisemans Ferry Road (approx. 10km west of Spencer) has been impacted by landslips and instability has a higher risk of further impacts during significant rainfall.

In accordance with geotechinical expert advice to reduce the risk of further slope instability and safety risks for the public, Council has put in place protocols where the road is temporarily closed when more than 30mm rain occurs in a 24hr period.  

Notice will be provided to the community on Council’s Facebook page (@CentralCoastCouncil) of an impending closure with as much notice as possible, and we will provide an update of the status when the road is closed with anticipated re-opening details, and again once the road has re-opened following an inspection of Council’s geotechnical consultant.

Note: Council is prioritising investigations and the development of treatments to address a longer term solution for Wisemans Ferry Road, along with specialised geotechnical consultants.   Council is regularly meeting with representatives of Transport for NSW and submitting requests for grant funding to carry out repairs.  Council will be communicating with the community shortly in relation to the program of works for Wisemans Ferry Road.
