WEST HEAD & McCARRS CREEK ROAD - WEEKEND CORONAVIRUS CONGESTION

  • With beaches something on a no go zone, the need for a family outing has now switched to the McCarrs Creek-West Head Road.

  • Sunday 29 March recorded in excess of 400 cars through the (bottom) McCarrs Creek Road tollbooth by 12.30pm. It was a super busy day on this road from 9.30am.

  • On the weekends - best be off the West Head Road by 9.30am and only use the Akuna Bay Road (in both directions). Also avoid McCarrs Creek Road (either direction) after 9.30am. The Akuna Bay loop was much quieter than McCarrs Creek Road.
