Two roading improvement projects have recently been completed in the Waitomo district.

Mangaotaki Road in Piopio recently received drainage upgrades, pavement reconstruction and a chipseal by Council contractor Schick Civil Ltd, while contractor Nicholls & Uttinger completed drainage upgrades and pavement reconstruction on Ngapaenga and Walker Roads

The improvement works were in response to previous storm damage.

Ngapaenga and Walker Roads were both sealed late March, with further improvements including berm and drain shaping and topsoiling and hydroseeding.

General Manager Infrastructure Services, Shyamal Ram says with roads being a critical infrastructure in all communities, it is always pleasing to see roads improved to a better condition.

“We thank the community for their patience with the temporary measures that have been in place at these sites,” says Shyamal.
