SH1 Desert Road underwent a major programme of work between January and early March 2025.
In just over 8 weeks we rebuilt and repaired 28 lane kms of road, 12 lane kms more than we originally planned. We also completely rebuilt the deck of the Mangatoetoenui Bridge, located 23 km south of Rangipō. Our project will return next road maintenance season to complete the final surface on this section.
