SH7 closed between Greymouth and Stillwater this Friday

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Motorists travelling between Greymouth and Stillwater on SH7 will have to take the Taylorville side of the Grey River on Friday, February 3 for four hours as work to remediate the highway surface and remove a manhole is completed.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency crews will close the highway between 10am and 2pm (after the school bus runs and before the end of the school day) at Omoto that day, affecting the route between Greymouth and Stillwater.

A detour via Taylorville Rd would be in place for vehicles but HPMV and overweight vehicles/trucks must use SH7 so would need to plan their journeys around the four-hour closure, Waka Kotahi West Coast maintenance contract manager Moira Whinham said.

“Although the detour route is not much longer than the SH7 route, anyone travelling from Kaiata will need to backtrack to Stillwater, adding 20 minutes to their normal direct route to Greymouth."

The closure is weather dependent and may be rescheduled if it is wet. Check www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz... for updates.

Waka Kotahi thanked all regular users of this highway for their patience while the work was completed at Omoto.

Do you have a quick question for a lawyer?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

On Thursday each week we hold free lawyer clinics.

These clinics allow you to see a lawyer at no cost for 10 mins. So, if you need help understanding a legal document or deciding whether to pursue a legal case, then this is a great starting point.

- 1pm - 133 Brighton Mall (entrance on Union Street, SBA office) – 03 366 6490
- 6.15pm - 8 Goulding Ave (Hornby community centre) – 03 349 5236

You will be given a number when you arrive, so everyone is seen in order and usually the lawyer can see 5-7 clients.

If you need a specialist lawyer or advisor for immigration, employment or ACC then email christchurchclinics@outlook.com to make an appointment with the separate clinics.
