Flood closures on Old Bass Highway

Posted on August 10, 2011 by

Just a quick note… We are hearing that the flood waters in the South Esk have cut the Old Bass Highway at Hadspen.  If you’re heading out from Launceston thursday night you might have to continue along the Bass Highway and come in to Rutherglen from the Western end. We will update here if we get more information.

      as of 3.30 this afternoon, road is still closed. from launceston side, dont take the normal hadspen exit, but continue along bass highway crossing the south esk river, then take next exit and follow signs for hadspen. you’ll come to rutherglen from the other side. easy!
