The intersection of State Highway 3 and Raynes Road has been made safer for all road users by the installation of an Intersection Speed Zone. This will be in place until longer-term safety improvements, including a roundabout, raised safety platform and improved cycling facilities are built.
Completion of a cycling improvements project on part of the Southwestern Cycleway closes a gap in the Auckland cycling network, offers a more affordable and sustainable transport option, and helps make things safer for those using the route.
During the September school holidays Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency will be closing a small, yet important, section of State Highway 5, Old Taupō Road, in Rotorua.
The start of September sees the first shoots of the summer road renewals programme start to form, with road workers shifting their attention from winter maintenance onto more proactive treatments.
Nelson residents and drivers are encouraged to plan ahead so they are not caught out by maintenance works on State Highway 6, Whakatu Drive, next month.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says work is underway to re-open SH35 between Beach Road and the Motu River Bridge East of Ōpōtiki, with fallen trees and other debris blocking the road.
