The NZ Transport Agency is continuing to make State Highway 2 safer between Waipawa and Waipukurau, with safety improvement work beginning on the section this month.
The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) and construction company Downer are working together to help rebuild South Westland’s Waiho River Bailey bridge, washed away by rock-filled floodwaters last week, says NZ Transport Agency System Manager, Pete Connors.
The first stage of safety improvements to State Highway 3 (SH3) between Waitara and Bell Block, with the removal of the northbound passing lane between Mahoetahi Road and Raleigh Street are now complete.
Tairawhiti Roads is advising that, due to wet weather, the start date for the State Highway 35 Awapuni Road upgrade will be delayed until the weather improves.
