Great Western Highway closure at Victoria Pass
A detour is currently in place on the Great Western Highway following the closure of Victoria Pass in both directions - but don't let that halt your road-trip adventure as there are Other Ways to the West. The Seven Valleys region is still very much open for business, and there are some genuinely spectacular ways to get here. Our pick is via the Bells Line of Road and Chifley Road from Windsor to Lithgow, and the other is via the Great Western Highway and the Darling Causeway from Mt Victoria to Lithgow via Bell.
If you're travelling from Sydney, follow these handy travel tips to make your journey to Lake Lyell Recreation Park and the Seven Valleys Region a safe and enjoyable one!
Give yourself an extra 30 minutes travel time! There are going to be some delays as you detour via Chifley Road, Mort Street and Main Street Lithgow for the coming months.
Scenic Hill (Chifley Road) located just as you come into Lithgow is perfectly fine for caravans, camper trailers and campervans to navigate. Just take your time particularly on those hairpins and give plenty of space between yourself and other road users.
If you can, avoid travelling through Lithgow during those peak school zone times (8-9:30am and 2:30-4pm). If you have to, please obey the 40km/h speed limit and be vigilant around school pedestrian crossings.
If you're still a little unsure please do not hesitate to give us a call on 02 6355 6347 or visit Central NSW Tourism for inspiring Other Ways to the West!
