New Glenwood Malvern Route Changes Transport Plan

Road work in the Glenwood Malvern area closes the old Ranne farm bridge and a dangerous subway. The new alignment runs straight past Hastings under the subway then south to Norton farm, intercepting the old road further south. The change adds a rail grade road closure, opens a new north road on the old Ranne farm, and abandons the narrow existing route deemed risky. The old bridge and short sections are removed to improve safety and travel.
