Storm update – beware of slips
A number of substantial slips are blocking or partially blocking several roads around Wellington this morning.
Motorists are warned to take care on all roads around the city as there could be slips or fallen trees that have come down on roads but have so far gone unreported.
Incidents include:
· Slip covering both
lanes on the top of Wadestown Road.
· Slip
covering both lanes at the corner of Fortification Road and
Nakora Road, Seatoun Heights.
· Slip on Melrose
Road covering footpath and part road, very large boulder on
road on the bend.
· Slip on Rangiora Avenue,
Khandallah, covering both lanes.
· Slip on
Manchester Street, Melrose. The slip appears to have broken
a gas line. PowerCo contractors are on site to fix the
leak.
Smaller slips include:
· Evans Bay
Parade, covering one lane.
· Grafton Road,
Hataitai - debris across driveway.
· Otaki
Street, Miramar, covering one lane
· Makara
Road, between Makara Village and Makara
