Work will start this week to repair two slips sites along Rangitoto Road in Te Kūiti.

The first site is 400m northwest of the Tate Road intersection, and the second site is 600m southeast of the Tate Road intersection.

The upgrades are in response to previous storm damage where preceding repairs were only of a temporary nature until a more permanent solution was determined, and funding was available.

Inframax Construction Ltd were awarded the contract following a tender process.

Work includes repairing the pavement (road surface), upgrading drainage and constructing a timber retaining wall.

During this time there will be some disruption to traffic flows due to the constrained site locations with temporary traffic management in place to allow for the works to be constructed safely.

Both sites will be constructed concurrently so there will be a 1km section of road affected by traffic management.

The overall completion for both sites is end of July 2025.
