Ferndale-Strzelecki Road closed after landslide

4 June 2012, 2.25pm.

The Baw Baw Shire Council is warning residents of a “significant” landslide on Ferndale-Strzelecki Road which have forced the road’s closure.

Baw Baw Shire Council Mayor Diane Blackwood said it is unknown when the road will reopen.

“Due to the landslips caused by continuing wet weather the road is unsafe for motorists. At this stage, it is unknown when the road will be re-opened to through traffic,” Cr Blackwood said.

Ferndale residents have been advised to detour via Grand Ridge Road to the town’s east.

The road is closed to through traffic and the Baw Baw Shires says the landslide site is impassable.

The council says investigations into repairs will be made when the weather improves.
