Six roads on Dandenong area flood closure list

BAYLISS Road and Taylors Road in Dandenong South and Harwood Road in Bangholme have been closed this afternoon due to flood damage.

It comes as three other flooded roads in the Greater Dandenong region remain closed since Friday morning’s downpour.

According to VicRoads’ traffic alerts website, access to Glasscocks Road remains temporarily closed from Frankston-Dandenong Road, Bangholme .

Taylors Road between Thompsons Road in Lyndhurst and Ballarto Road in Skye are shut to traffic. Wedge Road in Sandhurst is also closed. The status of the roads have not been updated since last Friday.

A flood warning remains in effect for Hallam South Road, Hallam since Friday afternoon. A flood alert and road closure on Heatherton Road, Endeavour Hills has been lifted.

A VicRoads spokeswoman said that the roads should be assumed closed if their status was unchanged.

She said VicRoads may not be privy to the status of closed local roads, which were the responsibility of municipal councils.
