The annual summer maintenance season is upon us and Waka Kotahi NZTA have a steady programme of work to get through on State Highway 25 and 25A.

Maintenance is carried out every summer because it’s the best time of the year to do it while the weather is warm and dry, says a Waka Kotahi spokesperson.

"If you’re out on the road, keep an eye out for traffic management and crew who are doing pre-sealing repairs."

Areas you can expect to see traffic management include:

-SH2 Karangahake Gorge – rockfill embankment completed. Now stabilising when weather permits.
-SH25 Ruamahanga Bay – clearing slip material, investigating, stabilising and clearing vegetation.
-SH25 Thames Coast – clearing and constructing coastal erosion protection structures.
-SH25 Pumpkin Hill – ongoing slip repairs.
-SH25 Thornton Bay – constructing coastal erosion protection structures.
-SH25 Coroglen – slip repairs.
-SH25A – Either side of the slip, current work includes bridge strengthening, pre seal inspections, culvert drainage work and slip repairs.
