The Granite Island Causeway is temporarily closed.

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport advises that as a result of winds exceeding 100km/h in the past 24 hours, the Granite Island Causeway at Victor Harbor will be closed to all pedestrians and vehicles, including the horse-drawn tram, until further notice.

The Department advises the public to be very careful around jetties during strong winds.

This closure is part of the Department’s Operational Control Procedure, which requires the closure of the causeway to vehicles once winds reach 50km/h to ensure public safety.

The Department will provide updates via Facebook and Twitter.
