Harewood Road closure: Harewood Road will be closed 24/7 to vehicles, cycles, and pedestrians at the railway line until late September 2024. The Harewood Rd end of Restell Street is also closed. Detours are in place – please expect changed traffic patterns and significant delays if you are in the area. The closure is to allow rail renewal works and also the construction of a safer crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. During this closure, Langdons Road (at the Greers Road end) is back to two-way traffic.
