Some roads will be closed to vehicles over the winter period. Picture: On File

Parks Victoria has released the statewide road closures for some tracks to vehicles for the winter season after the King’s Birthday weekend in June.

Upper Taggerty Road in the Yarra Ranges National Park will be closed from 15 June and Blue Range Road in the Kurth Kiln regional park will close from 13 June, both will re-open 2 November this year.

Many roads and tracks are seasonally closed to vehicle traffic each year.

As rain and snow soften the tracks, making them vulnerable to damage, these tracks are closed to vehicles for visitor safety, to maintain water quality and prevent erosion during the wetter months.

Seasonal road closures generally operate from after the King’s Birthday long weekend in June through to the end of October, but the closures may be extended if conditions are not suitable to safely re-open the roads.
