Roading update - 24 June
Our roading team and contractors have been hard at work over the past few months and they've sent us these photos of the mahi they've done!
June 24, 2024
Pukepapa Road - A large carriageway reconstruction is happening, as well as Powerco doing some upgrade work, so both them and Council are working together to try and minimise disruptions.
Makirikiri Road - We're widening the road next to the intersection with Goldings Line to make it safer for those vehicles wishing to turn into Goldings Line. They'll be able to sit in a bay at the top of the intersection and wait for traffic to pass.
Turakina Valley Road - There's a few different things happening here, but the main one is the installation of a rock wall to help protect the bank next to the river, near the Mangtipona Road intersection. They've also put in concrete apron pads in areas that are prone to slips, to make it easier to clean debris away.
Maowhango Valley Road - As well as concrete apron pads, we've been working on new culverts, a retaining wall, resurfacing, and a safety barrier to make a section of the road more resilient to extreme weather events.
Mortens Bridge, Turakina Valley Road - In our last update back in March, we'd just completed the reinforcement steel along the front of the bank and covered it with concrete. Now, drainage channels have been added to help prevent erosion to the bank by the bridge.
