What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The closure of the Victoria Pass is forcing businesses to either raise prices or absorb the costs associated with detours between Sydney and the Central West region. Transport operators running services between the two areas report that detours can add roughly $400 per truck in extra fuel and wages, in addition to safety concerns on narrow, unlit sections of the road. Delays are also occurring, sometimes requiring trucks to return to Richmond or travel via Bells Line of Road, leading to late deliveries due to legal driving limits.
