Waitomo District Roading Updates

We are aware that a number of roads in the Mōkau, Awakino and Mahoenui areas have been affected by the recent weather events. Due to the closure of State Highway 3 south of Piopio, our roading crews have been unable to access parts of the network. We are aiming to have crews on site tomorrow, subject to access being restored.
