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.
