Floods cut off key roads in northern NSW

A LANDSLIDE and flooding has forced the closure of part of a major highway in northern NSW.

The Gwydir Highway, a vital east-west route in northern NSW, has closed between Grafton and Glen Innes.

Motorists are being told to use the New England Highway and Bruxner Highway instead.

They are also being advised to be extremely cautious in northern NSW due to the continuing wet weather.

A number of other flooded roads have closed including:

- The Oxley Highway in both directions at O'Neills Creek in Long Flat.

- Failford Road between the Pacific Highway and The Lakes Way.

- The Gwydir Highway between Moree and Warialda.

- The Bucketts Way is closed at Gloucester Road in Burrell Creek.

- The Pacific Highway is also affected by flooding at various locations.

It is expected that heavy rain across much of NSW could cause flash flooding across the coastline this weekend.

The Bureau of Meteorology had 16 flood warnings in place on Saturday night.

A severe weather warning for heavy rain has been issued for people in the Northern Rivers, Mid North Coast, Hunter and Northern Tablelands areas.
