NSW Government urging Bathurst 1000 racegoers to follow travel advice

Motorsport fans heading to this year’s Bathurst 1000 are being urged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and take additional care on the roads, with increased traffic expected to put further pressure on the road network while Victoria Pass remains closed.The ongoing closure of Victoria Pass means motorists travelling via the Great Western Highway will be diverted through Darling Causeway, Scenic Hill, Chifley Road and Main Street in Lithgow, with delays potentially exceeding an hour during the busiest periods.
