Full road rehabilitation postponed by NZTA

5 Mar 2025, 5:07 PM

Council’s watermain replacement project along Carroll Street/SH3 in Te Kūiti will soon be completed.

However the subsequent full road rehabilitation by New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) that was scheduled to start immediately after, has been postponed until later in the year.

Unfortunately the timing of the relocation work means it is not suitable for NZTA’s road rehabilitation to proceed at this time without causing significant disruption to the community and this work has been rescheduled for September 2025.

The road rehabilitation involves 8 weeks of work, which would’ve clashed with the NZ Shearing Championships, the Great New Zealand Muster and the upcoming visit of Kuini Ngā Wai Hono i te Pō Paki. NZTA wants to ensure SH3 is free for use for these important events.

Winter is not suitable for road rehab works as chipsealing requires warmer ground temperatures, which is why it is rescheduled for Spring.

NZTA and Waitomo District Council thank the people of Te Kūiti for their co-operation.
