The gap in the reading system at the southern end of Lake Brunner, where construction work is proceeding under the Public Works Department, will be sufficiently forward to allow for through traffic to Mitchell's during the holidays. The Orangipuku stream on the route is still unbridged. It can be forded by cars under normal weather conditions. The opening of this section of the road will link up the Grey Valley road through Rotomanu and Inchbonnie with the Kumara-to-Hokitika and Greymouth road systems, and will afford an interesting drive for tourists.
