The short version
Approximately 350 kilometres of the Sandover Highway in the Northern Territory remain closed months after sustaining significant flood damage. Repair efforts have yet to begin, leaving the remote route impassable to all traffic.
Why this matters — from Rex
Hey folks, if you're planning a remote expedition out towards the Sandover, you'll need to pivot. This closure cuts off access to several deep-outback routes, so triple-check your fuel and supply points before heading into the desert.
