Safety works from Kukumoa Cutting to Bairds Road underway
Careful management and delivery of the projects completed to date has meant that we now have the budget and resources to extend the installation of side barriers on SH2. The section from Kukumoa Cutting to Bairds Road will now benefit from these safety features. This section has seen too many crashes, and it is also timely with the installation of the cycleway alongside SH2 by the Ōpōtiki District Council.
Work is now underway to get more than 900 metres of side barriers installed on each side of the road before Christmas. There will be some traffic management in place as the crew gets this work done.
During this time road users can expect to see shoulder closures and/or stop/go operations in place, as required. Works will take place between 7am and 5pm each weekday. Please allow extra time for your journey as delays up to 10 minutes may be experienced.
We’ll keep you posted as to any further safety improvements required to support the planned marina.
