Convoys are running through State Highway 2 (SH2) in the Waioweka Gorge to keep essential travel and freight moving while we work on the Goldsmiths slip site.

SH2 through the Gorge is still a fragile worksite. Each time a convoy passes through, recovery work must pause to keep everyone safe.

Longer convoys give us less time to work, which slows down progress at the slip site.

Please carefully consider whether your trip is essential before joining a convoy. 

Convoys can be delayed or cancelled at very short notice if weather conditions or risk assessments change. Follow the direction of the crew on the ground at all times.

Please continue to check the NZTA Waikato and Bay of Plenty Facebook(external link) and Gisborne/Hawkes Bay Facebook(external link) pages for latest updates on the convoys.
