Road Repairs
Planned For Kaikohe's Eastern Entrance |
Broadway, the heart
of Kaikohe's central business district, is to receive a major road surface
overhaul at the eastern entrance to the town.
Starting next week Transit NZ plans to reconstruct a failed section
of Broadway from the Mangamutu Stream bridge westward to a point near
the Mangakahia Road junction where the road pavement is still in good
condition.
At the same time the pedestrian crossing near Mangakahia Road is to
be relocated a few metres west from its present location to improve
safety.
The project will be carried out by Transit's highway maintenance contractor,
Downer EDI Works Ltd. Drainage works will be carried out first and the
road surface reconstruction will follow.
Transit NZ has warned that there may be temporary disruptions to traffic
movements and has advised vehicle drivers accessing Kaikohe from the
east to allow a few minutes extra travelling time while construction
work is in progress.
Letters advising of the road works are being distributed to affected
businesses and residents this week.
