Roading update on behalf of CODC
Information shared on behalf of Central Otago District Council:
• The Police have closed SH8 at Roxburgh due to flooding at Blackjack’s Creek. The road is closed between Millers Flat and Roxburgh, with a diversion in place.
• There is extensive surface flooding on local roads around the Central Otago District. Please take extreme care – as well as ponded water there may also be fallen branches and trees, and rocks on the roads.
• As these hazards are widespread, CODC and its contractors may not yet be aware of them all so Acting Chief Executive Louise van der Voort has asked motorists to be the Council’s eyes and ears. Please phone 03 440 0056 to report any hazards on the roads.
