Erosion caused by this week's wild weather in Dunedin has forced the closure of a track linking the Esplanade at St Clair with nearby Kettle Park.
The move was a ''precautionary measure'' while contractors inspected the area before advising on management options within days, a Dunedin City Council spokeswoman said.
The closure followed last week's announcement the council would add more sheet piling to protect the sea wall from further erosion.
