Australia: Road closures update

Motorists are being urged to avoid all non-essential travel to East Gippsland, Victoria, with many of the region's arterial roads closed because of the flooding. The Princes Highway East at Stratford remains closed in both directions, with large trucks the only vehicles allowed access. The Highway is also closed in both directions at the Mitchell River Bridge at Bairnsdale, which remains completely cut off. A number of roads and bridges have also been closed around the towns of Boisdale, Briagolong, Dargo, Maffra, Traralgon and Moe. Fallen trees and debris have also caused road closures around the Mount Baw Baw Alpine Resort and Licola Road. (Sky News Australia)
