Resilience Works Next Week - Mangamuka Gorge
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is undertaking essential resilience works on SH1 through Mangamuka Gorge from Monday 15 September for up to 4 weeks (weather dependent). These works are to repair a new slip that occurred during Cyclone Tam in April this year.
The scope of work includes:
• Building a new rock wall
to help stabilise the hillside and reduce slips
•
Extending the roadside drain and lining it with rocks to
help manage heavy rain
• Installing a concrete channel
next to the northbound lane to help guide water safely away
from the
road.
Road users can expect a one-lane closure with stop/go operations in place Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Please allow extra time for your journey.
Outside of working hours Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, both lanes will be open to traffic.
