Western Bay of Plenty District Council has closed Bell Road in Papamoa to non-residential traffic while contractors replace a broken culvert.

The end of Bell Road, towards the Kaituna River from Parton Road, will be open to residents only while Council contractors undertake work to replace the culvert.

At this stage Council is unsure how long the road will remain closed and will advise residents when a timeframe for replacement is established.
