SH4 Forestry Movements

Between 9am – 3pm on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st temporary traffic management will be in place at the intersection of Raupiu Road and SH4 to allow forestry equipment to be unloaded.

Due to weight and width constraints on the bridge, the machinery cannot remain on the trucks while crossing. Trucks will need to stop on SH4 to unload the machinery, which will then be transported across the bridge separately.

As a result:

Both lanes of SH4 will be stopped for up to 20 minutes at a time while machinery is unloaded and moved across the bridge.
Several loads will be moved throughout the day, so there will be a number of temporary traffic stoppages.
At other times, stop/go traffic management will be in place, with minimal delays expected.
