Hauraki Road Pavement Rehabilitation

Thank you to the Tūrua and wider community for your patience, understanding and cooperation as we continue these essential upgrades on Hauraki Road. Our contractor is behind schedule and is due to finalise works in early May

As we are moving into the next phases, we will be extending works around the school and to the other side of the road. To help keep traffic moving, we’re adjusting our traffic management approach and some Stop/Go controls will be in place. Alternative routes remain available for those who prefer.

During this time, access to the eastern side of Raratuna Street will be closed, with a designated access route via Waihou Street for residents and school buses.

We appreciate your continued patience as we work hard to complete these important upgrades.

Below is a map of affected area where Stop/Go operations will be in place: (Yellow represents Stop/Go operations, Purple represents Residents and School Bus detour).

Camex Civil have been appointed by Hauraki District Council to complete essential upgrades on a 500m stretch of Hauraki Road, Turua.

The work is scheduled to start Monday, 10 February 2025 until mid-April 2025. Our contractors will do their best to minimise the noise and disruption while they carry out this important work.

From 10^th February there will be a one lane closure on Hauraki Road with some detours in place. These will be clearly signposted.

Please note: All dates are weather-dependent and may change if needed.

We appreciate your patience.
