Sir James Wattie Place in Hastings to re-open to vehicles tomorrow
Hastings District Council says clean-up work will continue overnight and Sir James Wattie Place is expected to be able to be re-opened to vehicles only by 9am tomorrow.
The road was closed after a number of businesses and the road corridor were contaminated with asbestos debris from the KiwiRail station fire in September.
The council says it wants to thank the contractors who have been working for those businesses and in the road corridor to make the area safe; many of whom worked nights to achieve this outcome.
It says there is still work to be completed, and it is hoped pedestrians can have access before New Year.
The council also expressed its thanks to the community and affected businesses for their patience throughout the clean-up.
