Summervilles Road Temporary Closure – Wednesday 28 May 

 

As part of our flood recovery efforts, Summervilles Road will be closed from 9am to 3pm on Wednesday 28 May to allow for essential geotechnical investigations and assess the ground conditions.

 

No access will be available during this time.

 

These works are critical to assessing the safety of the road and bridge following recent storm and flood damage.

 

Please remember:

• The road is restricted to local traffic only

• A 14-tonne load limit remains in place

• Drive with caution – the pavement and bridge are in poor condition and hazards may be present

 

We thank the community for your patience and understanding as we work to keep our roads safe.
