Southland’s newest roundabout linking Invercargill and the Bluff highway will increase safety and result in fewer crashes, says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
A section of the Kopurererua Valley pathway will be closed permanently as construction on the Takitimu North Link Stage One project progresses, and work begins on construction of the 6.8km shared path to Te Puna alongside the new road.
SH1 motorists can expect periodic road closures and detours over the next two months as the Hamilton section of the Waikato Expressway heads to a mid-year completion.
Trucks need to stop crossing the weight-restricted Kopaki rail overbridge on State Highway 30 south of Te Kuiti or the bridge will be closed to all traffic.
Construction is progressing on the Bay of Plenty’s biggest roading project – the Takitimu North Link - with earthworks underway on Stage One between Tauranga and Te Puna.
