what is the official reason for keeping the road closed? Have they stopped it?
It is a legal road (except for right by the dam) , therefore the council is only a custodian on behalf of the public .
the only wishy washy reason I've been told is to prevent damage to the poorly installed fibre that runs under some of it .
it's a real loss and has been my regular access into Nelson for years.
Nice easy drive , great history and scenery.
