Road crews will begin rebuilding a section of State Highway 33 (SH33) between Ōkere Falls and Whangamarino School starting tomorrow Thursday, 16 October, with work expected to take 8 weeks to complete. 

Work schedule 

• Dates: Thursday 16 October – Friday 5 December (weekdays only) 
  Hours of work: 6am – 5pm each day 

The road rebuild process involves removing the existing road surface and replacing it with a new one layer by layer. 

To enable the work to happen safely traffic management will be in place with lane closures between Hamurana Road and Ōkere Falls, Monday to Friday, between 6am to 5pm. 

There will be stop/go and speed restrictions to keep everyone safe. Once the work is completed, traffic management will remain in place for up to 48 hours until line marking is completed. 

Your safety is our top priority. Please drive carefully through the work zone and follow all posted signs and instructions. This work is weather dependent and may be extended beyond the planned completion date.
