Kosciuszko National Park - Travel Advice


Following the recent disastrous fires in this area, many roads are closed and will remain so, some for quite a long time. The following is an extract from the NPWS site:

The following key roads in Kosciuszko National Park remain closed:

  • Alpine Way area:
    • Olsens Lookout Road
    • Geehi Dam Road
    • Geehi Walls trail
    • Major Clews trail
    • Grassy Flats trail
    • Murray Gates trail
    • Bicentennial trail
  • Cabramurra area:
    • Link Road from Snowy Mountains Highway to Goat Ridge Road
    • Tooma Road - KNP5 (Khancoban to Cabramurra Road) - expected reopening December 2020
    • Goats Ridge Road
    • Elliot Way - expected reopening May 2021
    • Kings Cross Road
  • Snowy Mountains Highway area:
    • Tantangara Road
    • Long Plain Road
    • Yarrangobilly Caves Road
    • Goobragandra Power Line Road

These roads and trails will remain closed until hazardous trees are treated, debris is removed and repair work is completed.

The following roads in Kosciuszko National Park are open:

  • Snowy Mountains Highway - visitors must stay within the road corridor and be aware of hazards such as damaged buildings and burnt trees
  • Alpine Way - visitors should visit Live Traffic NSW to confirm status before travel
  • Kosciuszko Road - Jindabyne to Charlotte Pass
  • Guthega Road - Kosciuszko Road to Guthega Village
  • Barry Way - open to the Victorian border

 

Of particular note is the Elliot Way (Closed until May 2021) and the Tooma  Road (closed until December 2020). The Alpine way is open but is subject to closures especially following heavy rains, when rockfalls can block the road. Before traveling on these roads, check with NPWS to verify the conditions.

 

The Snowy Mountains Highway is open all the way Cooma to Tumut.
