State Highway 25A: Overnight closure coming up to complete final roadworks
Works to restore SH25A at the Taparahi worksite are coming to an end.
However, to carry out some final works at the new bridge, SH25A will be closed overnight on Wednesday, March 6.
During the closure, New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) contractors will install a new rubber seal into one of the bridge joints which runs across the full width of the road.
At the same time, the team will install grates on the side drains along the eastern road approach.
NZTA said the closure was crucial for the work to be carried out, and it is being done overnight to minimise disruption to road users.
SH25A will close from 9.30pm on Wednesday, March 6 until 5am on Thursday, March 7.
Detours will be via SH25 along the Thames coast and Coromandel township or via SH26, SH2 and SH25 through the Karangahake Gorge, Waihīand Whangamatā.
Access for local traffic along SH25A will be maintained up to the bridge from both the east and west.
The full restoration of SH25A at the Taparahi worksite is expected to be completed by the end of March.
