Tapu-Coroglen Road works - expect delays
Work began today on fixing washouts on the eastern side of the Tapu-Coroglen Road summit that were caused by the storm
late July.
Our road maintenance contractors, Broadspectrum, will be using an excavator to place rock spalls (boulders) on the
narrow section of road. "There will be delays of up to 20 minutes to allow the excavator to complete the road
stabilisation work," says our Roading Manager Matt Busch.
Signs have been installed at either end of the Tapu-Coroglen Road advising motorists of these expected delays. "We want
to thank motorists for their patience, we understand the delays will be a hindrance, although a necessary one to restore
the level of service at the affected sites," says Mr Busch.
This week the 20 minute delays will be between 9.00am and 4:30pm to allow people travelling to and from work to have
uninterrupted travel. From next Monday the delays can be expected between9.00am – 2.45pm to accommodate school traffic.
The work is scheduled for completion by Friday 21 October.
