The roads connecting the Newell Highway bypass into Parkes are opening.
The northern end connecting Parkes to the Newell Highway bypass is open, allowing access to the northern side of the town using Peak Hill Road - which was formerly the highway - from the bypass and vice versa.
The new Victoria Street bridge opened last week and London Road between the bypass and Saleyards Road has reopened to two-way traffic.
Link Road - a new and modified road connecting Brolgan Road with Hartigan Avenue - is also now open.
The southern connection into Parkes from Forbes closed to traffic on 15 April when the bypass officially opened and work at this end continues.
