Our works schedule – fortnightly update

4 June 2025

There has been significant damage to our road network following last month’s devastating floods. Restoring access to isolated areas remains our top priority.

Our crews have been out inspecting and repairing damage where possible. However, high water levels in certain areas is still preventing access. The rural communities of Cundle Flat, Coralville, Monkerai and Terreel Road remain isolated.

Both Thunderbolts Way and Scone Road remain closed due to the washout of multiple bridge approaches and extensive pavement damage. We do not yet have an estimated reopening timeline, these roads require significant repairs, and access to the area is still impacted. You can view the full list of closures at www.livetraffic.com.

With support from the SES, ADF and a roadworks team from Newcastle City Council, crews are working tirelessly to clear debris and reopen key routes. We’re incredibly grateful for their hard work.

We ask for your patience and kindness as we continue this work. Our teams have been working around the clock in extremely difficult conditions to assess damage and carry out emergency repairs.


These are some of the locations where teams will be working across the MidCoast over the next two weeks, weather dependent.
