***UPDATE - Black Spur re-opened 1pm.
BLACK SPUR CLOSED (10.19am May 7)
From Department of Transport: "The Maroondah Highway is closed in both directions through the Black Spur, due to a serious collision.
What's happening
- Incident: Single-vehicle collision
- Traffic impact: Road closed between Healesville and Narbethong
- Delays: Up to 90 minutes on the detour route
What should motorists do
Motorists travelling between Healesville and Narbethong should allow extra time for the significant detour using the Melba Highway and Goulburn Valley Highway through Yea and Alexandra.
Before travelling, we suggest motorists visit the VicTraffic website at traffic.transport.vic.gov.au for current road closures and hazards.
We ask drivers to use extreme caution when driving in wet, snowy and icy conditions:
• Braking takes longer in these conditions, requiring more space between drivers and the car in front.
• If they encounter ice, drivers will have little or no control over their vehicles and should avoid accelerating, braking hard or turning the steering wheel.
• Turn on headlights and watch for pedestrians, cyclists and motorbike riders, who can be harder to see.
What happens next
• Emergency services are attending.
• Transport Victoria will provide assistance with traffic management and recovery works.
• The road will re-open only when investigations are complete and it is safe to do so.
