These are the road closures as a result of the NSW and Queensland bushfire emergency, as of Tuesday, November 12.

There are currently 71 fires burning in NSW, 40 of which are not contained, and a state of emergency has been declared.

Residents currently evacuating from areas affected by the fires are being told by Live Traffic NSW to take extreme care on the roads and delay any non-essential travel due to the high amount of traffic.

Motorists are also strongly advised to avoid any areas affected by fires, and have water, food supplies, a full tank of fuel and a fully-charged mobile phone as conditions are changing and rapidly.

Experts have warned that the worst is yet to come in both states and motorists should be prepared for road closures to change.
