Subscriber only The first patch of pavement on a three-year, $10 million upgrade of one of the region s major secondary transport routes, the Woodburn-Coraki Road, has begun. The initial round of works, scheduled to take seven days, involve resurfacing a 270m section at the Woodburn end of the road, between the Rocky Mouth Creek bridge and the start of the 100kmh zone. This will include removal of the current surface of the road and replacing it with a premium asphalt mix to ensure durability, longevity, and a smooth ride quality for motorists. General Manager Vaughan Macdonald said the Woodburn-Coraki Road was one of the area s most vital roads, and its upgrade had been a long-term council priority.
