NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) advises State Highway 39 (Kakaramea Road) near the Mangataoma Bridge, will be closed overnight Sunday 24 November for road maintenance.
This section of state highway south of Ngāhinapōuri, needs attention and closures allow work to be carried out safely and efficiently.
The closure will be in effect from 6.30pm Sunday 24 November until 6.30am Monday 25 November while contractors complete 'mill and fill' works as part of an asphalt repair programme. This work will extend the life of the road and reduce potholes over winter and create a smooth ride.
During the time the road is closed, residents and emergency services will have access however all other traffic will be detoured. HPMV vehicles will be held and released every hour.
We’d like to thank people for their patience while this important maintenance work is carried out.
The works are weather dependent and if you’re travelling through the area, make sure to plan ahead and check Journey Planner.
