SH25 just
south of Coromandel township closed to heavy vehicles due to
an underslip
The NZ Transport Agency advises motorists
to expect delays on State Highway 25 just south of
Coromandel township due to an underslip.
The slip, below the highway, occurred at approximately 4pm yesterday. One lane of the road is currently closed and stop/go traffic management is in place.
Geotechnical experts are assessing the site today.
The road is closed to trucks and other heavy vehicles, which could cause more movement at the site.
Heavy vehicles can use State Highway 25A as an alternative route.
A further
update will be issued later today following the geotechnical
inspection.
