Important info on next weeks road works
COMMUNITY NOTICE: Ōropi Road slip repairs
TCC & WBOP are repairing a slip that is affecting the shoulder of Ōropi Road, between the SH29A roundabout and Maleme Street. Delays are expected with traffic management in place – please plan ahead if you travel through this area or along SH29A.
Works begin on Monday 6 July and are expected to take until September to complete (8-10 weeks). They are phasing the works to reduce disruption to the community, with the most disruptive works and traffic management to take place during the school holidays (6-19 July). For the following phases, the crews will work on the shoulder and at the base of the wall during the day, with nighttime lane closures towards the end of the project to reinstate the road.
Traffic management
Phase 1: 2 weeks (6-19 July): Ōropi Road south-bound lane closed 24/7 between Maleme Street and the SH29A roundabout. Ōropi-bound traffic detoured via Chadwick Road and Cameron Road. 30km/h speed limits in place for city-bound traffic, and temporary traffic lights to manage traffic flow through the work site. Maleme Street and Ōropi Road north of the closure remain open in both directions.
