FYI

Location of incident: State Highway One, Johnsville

Currently there is a burst water main north of Johnsville on State
Highway One. It will take considerable time to repair this main,
therefore there will be major traffic delays for traffic leaving
Wellington.

this restriction could remain in place up to 1900 hours.

Motorists are asked to use alterative routes if possible.

While this is the Regional Council's pipe, Greater Wellington was not responsible for its rupture. Some road maintenance clown is about to get their botty kicked...
