A short blessing and speeches were held prior to the rail crossing opening
SH1B reopens at the Telephone Road rail crossing
Open at last!
For the first time since 2022 traffic is using the State Highway 1B Telephone Road rail crossing once again.
With the lights and barriers at the crossing now fully operational, the project to upgrade the rail crossing is complete.
Please take care when driving across the rail crossing or along Holland Road, as it can take time for drivers to adjust to using the rail crossing once again.
NZ Transport Agency would like to thank KiwiRail, Waikato District Council and, most importantly, the community of Puketaha and the surrounding areas for your patience and understanding over the last 3 years.
