Flood cameras

Kempsey Traffic Bridge flood camera

Manly Hydraulics Lab maintains a flood monitoring camera on the Macleay River at Kempsey as part of the Kempsey flood warning system.

Camera images are updated every hour in normal conditions.

Sherwood Bridge flood camera

The Sherwood Bridge flood monitoring camera displays the bridge deck so residents can see if the bridge is affected by flooding of the Macleay River.

Camera images are updated about every 30 minutes. View High resolution floodcam image (jpg - 333 KB)

Time and date

Images are time and date stamped so you can tell when they were taken.

During flood events, the last daylight image will stay on the webpage until the first image is captured on the following day.

Bridge closures

When water is over the bridge deck, the road is closed and any 'road closed' signs should be obeyed. After the flood, the road will not be reopened until the bridge is inspected and debris has been cleared by Council staff.
