Crews will rebuild a stretch of State Highway 4 at the Paroparowhero Stream, north of Taumarunui, next week.
A new box culvert was installed earlier this year under the road after heavy rainfall caused extensive damage to the area two years ago.
A temporary road was laid during winter, until crews could return during the drier, warmer weather later this year to complete a permanent rebuild.
Warmer, drier weather is essential to give the road surface the best chance and make it as durable as possible.
The rebuild will take approximately 5 weeks and will begin next Wednesday 13 November.
During this work, crews will be focused on a 1km stretch of road, including the culvert. The site will be under temporary traffic management with a lower 30 km/h speed limit, with delays of approximately 10-15 minutes. Please allow for extra journey time.
Crews will be onsite 7am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday during these works.
To allow the new seal to set properly and ensure its longevity, it is crucial that road users adhere to all temporary speed restrictions in place.
Please be patient and follow all instructions of our crews and comply with all temporary signage. We appreciate road users’ support during this time.
