Happy New Year! As we return to work refreshed we look ahead to another year of dramatic change to the local landscape.  We’ve got a lot to get done and things will continue to change as we move people around our works and start to open up new sections of local road to the community. We’ll continue to keep you posted every step of the way and encourage you to share information with your friends and neighbours, please invite them to sign up for these regular updates if they are not already receiving them.

Before we get into the year ahead I want to extend a really big thank you to residents living close to the rail works we completed over the New Year. Your patience and understanding allowed our 24-hour shifts to run without incident and the team got the job done well within time. We couldn’t have done this without your support!

More on this piece of work below along with a snapshot of what’s planned for the year ahead, an update on some important traffic changes to State Highway 1 as well as an update on the Mirek Smizek kilns and our regular construction update.

If you need any further information please visit our website www.nzta.govt.nz/pp2o, call us on 0800 PP2O INFO or email pp2o@nzta.govt.nz
