Northbank Road Slip Saturday Closure
Marlborough Roads crews will be working at pace tomorrow – Saturday 26 July - on the Northbank Road slip ahead of rain forecast next week. This will require a road closure from 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm at the slip site, 2km from the start of Northbank Road. Marlborough Roads System Manager Wayne Oldfield said with heavy rain forecast on Tuesday there was a need to progress works on the Northbank Road slip as quickly as possible. 'To achieve this crews will be undertaking works this Saturday. Due to forecast bad weather it is very important that we do this work to improve the stability of the slip before the weather hits,' Mr Oldfield said. 'The more that can be cleared, especially when weather is favourable, the shorter the overall duration of the closures will be.' Contractors estimate that 20,000m3 of material is needed to be cleared from the slip which came down following the late June weather event. The road will continue to be open overnight between 4pm to 9am Monday to Saturday and all day on Sunday. Using Scoop for work? Scoop is free for personal use, but you'll need a licence for work use.
