The drone survey work is scheduled to take place and be completed between 7:30 am and 10:30 am. As a result, the tramway leading up to the Koko Crater Summit will be closed off to the public during this time slot.

City consultants are performing the drone survey to help with long-term improvements to the tramway. Last month the city did work on the summit to remove debris and seal tunnels, shafts and vents, according to KHon2.
