SH1 Mangamuka Gorge closed for resurfacing
this week
The NZ Transport Agency says State
Highway 1 Mangamuka Gorge will be closed later this week due
while road crews resurface sections of the road through the
Gorge.
To do this work safely and to the highest standards
a detour will be in place via State Highway 10 between
Awanui and Pakaraka. This will add an additional ten
kilometres to journeys.
The work, which is dependent on
dry weather, will start at 6am to 6pm daily on Sunday 26
March and Monday 27 March.
The Transport Agency
apologises for any inconvenience this may cause while we
carry out this important safety and maintenance
work.
