To make the most of the fine forecast, Waka Kotahi contractors will continue surfacing work on SH25 between Hikuai and Opoutere tomorrow.
Chipseal will be applied to the now cement stabilised bypass track around the underslip, which will improve the performance of the lane.
Road users should expect a similar schedule to today’s stop/stop traffic management, which will see the road closed for periods of 30 minutes to one hour to carry out the chipsealing.
At regular intervals the road will reopen under stop/go traffic management to allow light vehicles access before closing again and resuming the work.
Note: if the forecast changes or the work is deemed unsuitable for any reason – the chipsealing will be delayed until early next week.
We thank the Coromandel community for their patience while we undertake this necessary activity to keep the bypass around the underslip safe and useable for traffic.
People are urged to check the Waka Kotahi Journey Planner before they travel, and be prepared to wait.
