Thick Fog Disrupts Sydney Ferry, Road Travel Amid Safety Warnings

Sydney has been enveloped in a thick blanket of fog, significantly disrupting commuter transport and prompting warnings for extreme caution on roads due to dangerously low visibility. The Bureau of Meteorology issued a road alert early Tuesday, with visibility dropping to as low as 50 meters in some areas, and noted that the fog had developed overnight following showers and calm winds. Ferry services across Sydney Harbour were cancelled for a period in the early morning, with some routes still affected, causing passengers to seek alternative transportation options such as buses. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and stay updated on service announcements as fog conditions persist. This dense fog follows a weekend of severe weather in New South Wales, including heavy rain, strong winds, and snow, which has also led to a woman remaining missing in floodwaters in the Hunter region. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and issue updates as conditions evolve.
