Description

Original 14 November 2025, 10:59am

A fallen tree is currently blocking navigation near Bridge 48 (Falls Bridge). The obstruction is too large for the local team to clear safely, so we have asked our contractors to attend.

An update will be issued once the navigation is safe to reopen.
