Press Release – NZTA The most direct route through the Far North is now open to all vehicles except those over dimension, with extensive repair work on State Highway 1 in the Mangamuka Gorge almost complete. “People driving through will be able to see first-hand the amount of remedial work carried out including our 135m long 4m high retaining wall.

For those living south of the slips, the drive time to Kaitaia doubled from 30 minutes each way to an hour. The closure has also impacted the Bay of Islands and Doubtless Bay communities on the alternate route north, State Highway 10, which has been marred by congestion and crashes. For Mangamuka Dairy owner Eliza Kete, the official opening is a bit of an anti-climax. “It’s going to be great that it’s going to be open, but because we’ve waited such a long time we’re not overly excited now.” ....
