The 2024-2025 road renewal season in Taranaki is now complete.
Over the course of the season, roadworkers have rebuilt 23 lane kilometres and resealed over 91 lane kilometres of the state highway network to provide secure and reliable journeys for everyone.
While the road renewal season is over, you will still see roadworkers out completing maintenance work and also working on our other projects.
The 2025-2026 road renewal season will start later this year. We will provide an update on this closer to the time.

Highway maintenance frequently asked questions
Occasionally you may experience an issue on the state highway network that results in damage to your vehicle. Examples of this include chipped windscreens when driving on a section of newly sealed road, or tyre damage when driving over a pothole.
NZTA, through its road maintenance contracts, has an obligation to take reasonable care to maintain the state highway network in a good condition. However, in doing so we're constrained by available funding, weather events and resources. For this reason, we can't guarantee that the entire network will ever be free of defects.
You should drive to the local conditions, and recognise that conditions may vary along a stretch of road. You should have insurance for your vehicle in the event of any damage that may occur on the road, and your insurer should be your first point of contact when any damage has occurred.
