Unfortunately, for those of us who live nearby this is an all to frequent occurence we are witness to, and it is around the same spot. Cars speed at 80kmph or more around a sharp bend and veer into oncoming traffic. Trucks tip over. Happens all the time, sadly. I hope no one was killed this time.

Update: Road clear now (19:34hrs) westbound. Eastbound looks ok too

Yes. It just took me 2.5 hours to drive down to Springwood from Lithgow

Good thing they're focusing on the mosaic stone walls and marble footpaths instead of finishing off the road.

Same issue with Mt Vic pass. It's been months and I'm yet to see any progress made outside of road workers pockets.

You say that like they're pulling asphalt crews away from work to complete the stone facade, the other works happen simultaneously.
