The road condition report, issued at 10:33am on 15 September 15 2025, shows that whilst major highways servicing the region remain open, drivers are advised to exercise caution on numerous local roads throughout the shire.
All major highways continue to operate normally, providing crucial connectivity for the region. The Barrier Highway sections from Cobar to Wilcannia and Wilcannia to Broken Hill remain open, as do both sections of the Cobb Highway between Ivanhoe and Mossgiel, and Wilcannia to Ivanhoe.
Key regional roads including Opal Miner Way, Balranald Road, the Menindee to Broken Hill Road, and Pooncarie Road are also operating without restrictions.

A significant number of local sealed and unsealed roads require drivers to exercise caution. These include Baden Park Road, Cultowa Road, Dry Lake Road, Glendara Road, Mandalay Road, Monolon Road, and the Moolah to Trida Road.
Several roads in the Teryawynia area are also affected, including the Teryawynia to Ashmont Road, Teryawynia to Coolaminya Road, and Teryawynia Road itself.
Other roads requiring caution include Racecourse Road, Surveyors Lake Road, Tasman Road, the Tilpa to Louth Road, Trida Road, Wanaaring Road, the Wilcannia to Menindee East Road, and Yancannia Road.

Three roads remain closed to traffic due to water flow conditions. East Tilpa Road is completely closed, whilst Norma Downs Road is closed due to Cuttaburra flow. Tongo Road is also closed, affected by both Paroo and Cuttaburra water flows.
