The Department of Transportation and Works advises that due to safety concerns identified during an engineering inspection, the Searston Gut Bridge, between Searston and Millville in the Codroy Valley, has been closed to all traffic until further notice. The inspection identified deterioration of one of the bridge's pier foundations.

People wishing to travel to and from the north side of the Searston Gut are advised to use the Grand Codroy River Bridge.
