TRANSPORT UPDATE 17/2/26 – FIRE AREA
Chris Miller from the Department of Transport and Planning has advised that the Goulburn Valley Highway remains open, and it is hoped that it will not need to be closed. He added, “If it does, they don't expect that to happen until the wind changes about 8pm.”
They have however closed King Parrot Creek Road closed between the Goulburn Valley Highway and Strath Creek.
They have CFA on the Goulburn Valley Highway, slowing traffic on the way past warn them the fire is ahead, but traffic is still able to get through.
Chris added, “But as always, our advice is you have to stay away. If you don't need to be there, don't.” He suggested that people take the Hume Highway or other options instead.
Some of the smaller roads in the fire impact area are also closed. Check the VicTraffic app.
Chris said, “We've got people in the region up there working on it, working directly with the CFA… Our first priority is to get stuff on VicTraffic because that populates Google Maps and Apple Maps. We're exceedingly aware of how critical it is, and as soon as that information is in our hands, we get it straight onto that website, so keep an eye on that. It happens in real time or as close to it as possible.”
If people are evacuating from the area, road usage is at the direction of emergency services. Road closures are being staffed.
Chris added, “It's critical that they listen to the people that are on those on those closure points and take their advice.”
