SH2 Waihī to Ōmokoroa Safety Improvements ProgrammeChanges to median barrier plans on SH2 between Waihī and Ōmokoroa |
23 July 2024 |
Tēnā koutouThe installation of median barrier on 2 sections of State Highway 2 between Waihī and Ōmokoroa is being re-examined by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA). Chief Executive, Nicole Rose, says this corridor has had a significant number of deaths and serious injuries, and has increasing volumes of traffic. It is also a key corridor for communities who live along or off the state highway. “We are seeking to strike a balance between achieving the best safety outcomes for all road users and a design that meets local trip needs. “As a result of community concerns, NZTA will re-consider the options for the section of median barrier between Matahui / Lockington roundabout and Wharawhara Road, and the stretch between Apata Station Road and Morton Road, which is the longest section in the project and includes the Work Road intersection,” Ms Rosie says. The project will complete the finishing touches to the 1.4km of median barrier between Morton Road roundabout and Whatakao bridge.
NZTA will continue median barrier installation from Wright Road to Aongatete bridge. This will mean Wright Road and Dawson Road will become left-in left-out (with a roundabout at Matahui / Lockington roads – approximately 1.2km distance from Wright Road).
