The main highway at Tuhitarata on the Featherston-Lake Ferry Road is now negotiable by trucks and large cars. Owners of smaller types of motor vehicle are, however, advised not to attempt to negotiate the road until towards the end of the week when it is hoped the water will have subsided, sufficiently to enable all traffic to pass through without danger.
