Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises there will be new road seal laid on State Highway 10 at the Pakaraka intersection with SH1 in Northland on Friday, 5 March 2021.
The team has been on-site for the last 3 weeks rebuilding the road and is ready to seal. Work is planned to allow for school traffic and will be carried out between 9:00am and 3:00pm.
“Sealing is most effective when it’s carried out when daylight hours are longer and the warm temperatures and dry air help the new seal stick to the road surface,” says Waka Kotahi Northland System Manager Jacqui Hori-Hoult.
Press Release – NZ Transport Agency
Road repairs on State Highway 1 through the Mangamuka Gorge are making good progress and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says the road will be open to light vehicles over Easter.
The plan is to open the road from Friday to Monday over the Easter weekend with light vehicles travelling in each direction in one-way convoys approximately every fifteen minutes. The convoys will run from 8:00am to 7:00pm, says Waka Kotahi Northland System Manager Jacqui Hori-Hoult.
“Motorists will have to approach the convoys with some flexibility as they won’t run to a strict timetable. It will depend on how many vehicles turn up on the day and people might miss getting on the end of a convoy and have to wait up to thirty minutes for the next one. The good news though is that they will get through.”
