A stretch of State Highway 51 between Ellison Street and Waitangi Road will be closed at the beginning of next month for the Iron Maori triathlon event. The road, near Awatoto, will be closed between 6am and 1pm on Saturday 2 November.
A detour will be in place. Southbound vehicles will be detoured down Te Awa Avenue and into Waitangi Road before rejoining SH51.
Northbound vehicles will be detoured down Te Awa Avenue, right onto Awatoto Road, right onto Meeanee Road and onto State Highway 2 / Hawke’s Bay Expressway.
Please allow extra time for your journey and plan accordingly, given the area will already be busy with spectators and participants.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi would like to thank road users for their patience during the closure.
