As you may have recently felt, we've just experienced a significant earthquake. As a precaution, the Edith Cavell Bridge will be closed for inspection by engineers at first light. We'll provide a further update around 8.30am in the morning.
If you're travelling over the Crown Range, please drive carefully and be alert for rocks or debris that may have fallen onto the road as a result of the earthquake.
