Barnes Road closure 19 Jan
Barnes Road in Redwood will closed one way today 19 January for a CCTV inspection of wastewater pipes. Despite the date range on the sign the work is expected to be completed by the end of the day.
Sisson Drive update
The road is now fully open in both directions.
Sisson Drive restricted to one way traffic
Take care and look out for changed traffic conditions if you’re in the Langdons Rd / Sisson Dr / Northlands area.
Sisson Dr is currently one-way only towards Langdons Rd. There is no access at all to the PakNSave carpark from the Langdons Rd end of Sisson Dr. Traffic is backing up on Langdons Rd as a result of this so please be patient. We’re working on getting clearer signage on Langdons Rd before the turn into Sisson Dr.
