Bridge on SH 29 remains closed, caution urged in high winds

1 min read

A bridge on State Highway 29 east of Te Poi remains closed, after a tree fell this morning.

The road is expected to remain closed for at least the next four hours, while a structural assessment of the bridge is carried out.

We're also starting to experience high winds in the Coromandel and we're urging motorists - particularly those in light or high-sided vehicles - to exercise caution if travel is necessary.
