SH10

SH10 Kaingaroa, north of Zidich Road
Enabling works are complete, and the site is being made safe for traffic over winter. Crews have installed new drainage and prepared the area for pavement rehabilitation. Weather conditions are not suitable to complete the remaining rebuild now, so this work will move to early next construction season, taking about 3 weeks to finish. Ahead of winter, crews will do sealing, line marking and safety tasks to protect the road. Speed restrictions may apply, and drivers should take care.

SH11

SH11 Paihia, between MacMurray Road and Kings Road
Drainage improvements and asphalt repairs are underway between MacMurray Road and Kings Road and will continue until Thursday 30 April, from 7am to 6pm. SH11 is closed northbound at all times, with the southbound lane remaining open. Northbound traffic is detoured via MacMurray Road and Kings Road. In the last few days of the project, stop/go traffic management will be in place at the SH11/MacMurray Road intersection. Parking bays south of Kings Road will stay closed for the duration of the project, but visitors can park north of Kings Road and walk to businesses. Access for residents and hotels will remain. Expect some noise during work hours.

The short detour will stay in place over ANZAC weekend rather than temporarily reopening the road, as this would create unnecessary cost and delay. Crews will ensure the site is safe during the holiday period.
