BOGONG High Plains Road fully reopened to two-way traffic on Monday after major remediation and landslip prevention works were completed.
The completed works come after almost 18 months of earth removal and reconstruction following a major landslide in October 2022 near Bogong Village.
“From today, two-way traffic has been restored on Bogong High Plains Road for the community and the thousands of skiers and tourists who head to the slopes each year,” Minister for Roads and Road Safety Melissa Horne said on Monday.
“The landslide in October 2022 was one of the worst we’ve seen in our state’s history and our crews have worked tirelessly to not only repair the damage on the road but to prevent the risk of another dangerous landslip reoccurring.”
The Bogong High Plains Road opened under single lane traffic control ahead of schedule in late April last year.
The road was closed in the wake of October 2022’s devastating heavy rainfall due to debris from a mammoth slow-moving landslide, above the township of Bogong Village between Mount Beauty and Falls Creek.
