Road Works and Conditions

Pavement Reconstructions

Work sites are under temporary traffic management. Please follow all speed limits.

Ongarue Waimiha Road

Contractors have completed the earthworks and pavement construction on the 0.8km-2.8km site with sealing completed on 10 December. Temporary Traffic Management is in place until the road is swept and line marking painted.

Kururau Road

Contractors have commenced on the 1.3km-2.9km site, with the earthworks underway to be followed by drainage works and culvert renewals.

Footpaths

The Council is renewing and upgrading the pedestrian network throughout the District . Upgrading the network will create safe and accessible walking facilities which helps make our town more liveable, support tourism and contribute to healthier communities.

The footpath programme is moving through the approvals process and physical works will be undertaken during the March to June period.

Emergency Works

Much of the Ruapehu Roading Network is ever susceptible to slips and dropouts due to the environment that we live in.

Crews may respond at any time to urgent jobs elsewhere in the district to clear slips and fallen trees from roads, and may leave the above sites unfinished but will return to complete once other sites are made safe. Please follow all Temporary Speed Limits and Temporary Traffic Management.

Sealed Roads

Seal repairs for the 2021/22 construction season are programmed and currently underway. Repairs have been completed on Tanga and Kirton Road with the work crews on Paparoa, Kawautahi and Taringamotu Roads.

Unsealed Roads

Jilesen Contractors have two graders working full time on the unsealed network.
