As the end of March signals the close of the traditional construction season, there is an opportunity to reflect on the work completed over the past six months.
Recent fine weather has seen a steady stream of newly sealed sites appear on the Waikato and Bay of Plenty state highway network, which is good news for road users.
Road users should expect long delays at the SH25 underslip site between Hikuai and Opoutere tomorrow Wednesday 15 March, while Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency contractors work to stabilise the surface of the temporary bypass track.
The rail crossing on State Highway 1B Telephone Road, one of the most dangerous in the country, will remain closed to traffic for the foreseeable future.
State Highway 23 will be closed near Te Uku for a few hours tomorrow, Wednesday 15 March, to retrieve a concrete truck which rolled off the road last week.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises that State Highway 25 between Hikuai and Opoutere is open to one lane this week, during daytime and night-time hours, and will remain open providing it’s safe.
With more consistently fine weather appearing over recent weeks, road resealing and rebuilding crews have been out in force across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty network.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises that State Highway 25 between Hikuai and Opoutere will re-open overnight under stop/go traffic management from approximately 7pm – 9am.
