Section of Warburton Highway has been closed due to land slip

28/10/2022

Warburton Highway between Hooks Rd and Scotchmans Creek Rd, Warburton has been closed due to land slip and road damage.

VicRoads has put in the closure on the highway and is diverting traffic onto Old Warburton Road and out onto Park Road, Warburton.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious of compromised road conditions following our recent floods and intense periods of rain.

If you need to travel, make sure to check the VicTraffic website for closures before you leave at https://traffic.vicroads.vic.gov.au/

Please be kind and show patience to our crews, SES, VicRoads staff and any other service providers as they attend these sites.
