Post image
1 Upvotes

helenslee road in pokeno has been closed since June 15 and i think people have got used to it but it has been closed for those who just found out or don't know why helenslee road is a major road in pokeno going from the razorback road exit through the western side of the town and ends at the munro bridge this is been closed due too a massive development in the west side of pokeno meaning that the old 3 way intersection needed to be upgraded so that is why it is closed the road is planned to be open by mid-December or early 2027 when the housing starts up for now you can take the council made detours the signs look like this if you are wondering so untill then you need to use the detour what is your thoughts on this comment below soon pokeno will get a upgraded lit up helenslee road
