Motorists face wait to find out fix for Great Western Highway
Motorists severely disrupted by the closure of a critical motorway over the Blue Mountains will have to wait up to six weeks to find out the engineering fix and how long it will take to complete.
A stretch of the Great Western Highway at Victoria Pass has been closed indefinitely since March 9 after engineers found serious cracking and ground movement in a stone causeway built by convicts nearly 200 years ago. The road defects and bulging of sandstone walls risked the causeway collapsing.
After more than 20 companies were briefed late last month, two consortia led by contractors Seymour Whyte and Gamuda have been shortlisted to develop solutions for the closed section of the highway by the end of June.

Cracking has appeared on the Victoria Pass detour route as Transport for NSW (TfNSW) works to keep traffic flowing between the Central West and Sydney.
According to a TfNSW spokesperson, wet weather caused minor pavement cracking on the Bells Line of Road at Mount Tomah but did not require immediate action.
"Safety is our first priority. A slope risk assessment was undertaken and, at the time of detection, it was determined the road was safe and did not require immediate intervention," the spokesperson said.
