๐ง Fieldays Travel Update ๐ง
For anyone planning to head over to Fieldays tomorrow morning, please note that the road has been closed.
We're keeping our fingers crossed for a reopening ASAP.
In the meantime, if you were hoping to catch up with Mikey or Steve to chat about farm automation, generators, pumping systems, or any upcoming projects, get in touch. We'd be happy to arrange a phone call or meeting at a time that suits.
๐ Feel free to send us a message or give the team a call.
Stay safe on the roads ๐ป ๐ป
SH3 PIOPIO TO MลKAU โ SLIP ASSESSMENT - FINAL UPDATE 12PM
State Highway 3 is now OPEN under STOP/GO after a geotechnical speacilist advised that it was safe to reopen.
Allow additional time for your journey when travelling through the area.
-----
UPDATE 11AM, WED 10 JUN
State Highway 3 will RE-OPEN through Awakino Gorge from 12pm TODAY, Wednesday 10 June, under STOP/GO traffic management. Following assessment this morning, geotechnical specialists have advised it is safe to reopen the road under controlled conditions.
------
Plan ahead for a CLOSURE of Awakino Gorge from 6pm TONIGHT, Tuesday 9 June following an identification of a new land movement. An update is expected tomorrow, Wednesday 10 June, at 5pm, or earlier if there are any changes.
This closure is necessary as it is not safe to manage the risk of material coming down on the highway overnight when visibility is limited and the conditions can change quickly. A geotechnical survey will be carried out tomorrow to assess if the road can re-open safely.
Use alternative state highways as a detour or delay your journey.
