Weather causes road closure
A TREE split and hanging across a local road resulted in an overnight road closure, preventing trucks from passing through until midday the following day.
Wrapped up: By lunchtime Wednesday, June 25, Mables Road was cleared of an obstruction caused by a split tree overhanging the road.
After wet weather and high winds tore through the district last week, Mables Road in Glenfyne was closed by council on Tuesday, June 24 until the next day when a contractor could arrive at the scene.
“A tree had split and was overhanging the road caught up in another tree,” a Corangamite Shire Council spokesperson said.
“Large vehicles wouldn’t have been able to get under.”
Split: An overhanging tree was caught in a precarious position, resulting in a road closure last week.
The contractor made quick work of the obstruction and by lunchtime on Wednesday, June 25, traffic was free to flow again.
Drivers should take care to drive to the conditions and be cautious on the road during periods of high winds.
