The Nowra-Moss Vale Road will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic in both directions, from 9am until midday on Thursday 25 April for the annual ANZAC Day march through the village and commemorative service at the village cenotaph.
NSW Roads & Maritime Services signs will be placed to the west of Hampden Bridge and to the east of the village at Barfield Road, Cambewarra, to advise road users of this temporary road closure.
ANZAC Day parade participants are requested to meet at the Village Green Nursery Car Park from 9.30am, for a parade briefing at 9.45am, and the short march to the cenotaph commencing at 10am. Limited seating will be provided in front of the cenotaph for those who require it; you may also bring your own seat. The commemorative service should be completed by 11.30am, with the road to be opened as soon as possible thereafter.
