Araluen Road opening tomorrow afternoon
ESC contractors are ahead of schedule and will open the road by 5pm tomorrow (12 April), and keep it open for 16 days (until 28 April).
Next closure: They will close it again on 29 April at the 28.6km mark. We’ll share more details about that closure as soon as we have them.
Election Day: We’re working with our contractors to see if the road can be open on Election Day. We’ll keep you posted, but just in case it’s not possible, it might be a good idea to make the most of early voting while the road is open.
