full list of road closures

Relentless rainfall across the state has continued overnight and into Sunday morning, prompting new evacuation orders, wide sweeping road closures and landslides.

The Mid North Coast continues to face the brunt of the wet weather while Sydney residents have also copped another heavy battering overnight.

Authorities are warning residents in badly affected regions to avoid floodwaters at all costs and be prepared to evacuate if the SES deem it necessary. People around the state are still encouraged to stay indoors where possible.

Dozens of roads up and down the coast have been closed due to flooding, stranding many residents at their homes.

In the state’s north, the Pacific Highway is closed between Coopernook and Glenthorne, while in the south, the Illawarra Highway is closed in both directions through Macquarie Pass. Motorists who do need to drive should exercise extreme caution and allow plenty of extra travel time.
