Dalton’s Bridge, at the western end of Kaiuma Bay Road
just off State Highway 6, is closed to all vehicles over 3.5
tonne.
The
Pelorus river has scoured out the bank under the bridge
approach, making it potentially unsafe for vehicles over 3.5
tonnes
The bridge’s approach was
damaged during last week’s flooding. A structural engineer
has inspected the bridge and advised that only lightweight
vehicles can use it.
There is a diversion in place
using Te Hoiere Road for vehicles over the 3.5 tonne
limit.
