Major roads closed in Blue Mountains due to black ice | sarah_keoghan
Motorists along two major roads in the Blue Mountains have been told to park their vehicles and wait due to black ice, as emergency services warn it could be hours until lanes are reopened.
The conditions have caused one minor crash at Victoria Pass, which required the heavy vehicle to be towed. “Buses can not be ordered between Katoomba and Mount Victoria due to roads closures. Please delay travel if possible and use transport apps for updates.”
