Victoria Pass on the Great Western Highway between Mount Victoria and Lithgow has been closed for at least three months after Transport for NSW crews discovered significant cracks and geological movement in the road surface. The closure affects thousands of residents in the Blue Mountains and Central West regions, shutting down a critical freight corridor. Motorists are being diverted along Bells Line of Road, adding hours to commutes between Sydney and western NSW.
