Uncertainty about when Transmission Gully will reopen

From Midday Report, 12:10 pm on 4 April 2023

The main link between Wellington and the Kapiti coast has been closed since 6.40 this morning, when a fuel tanker and another vehicle collided.

A specialist hazardous materials unit, eight fire engines and a tanker are working to clear a significant fuel spill from the crash - but Transmission Gully might not be open in time for rush hour this evening.
