Road and Highway Conditions

Ventia, on behalf of the Thames-Coromandel District Council, will be undertaking maintenance works on Port Jackson Road & Fletcher Bay Rd.

As part of these works, truck and trailer units will be operating on Port Jackson Road from 16 October until 13 November 2026 (weather dependent).

There will be several heavy vehicle movements each day during this period. Road users, including motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, are advised to exercise caution and expect increased heavy vehicle activity. During grading activities, traffic management will generally operate under a Semi-Static Mobile Traffic Management setup. When truck and trailer units are actively spreading metal, traffic management will change to a Stop/Stop operation for approximately four minutes at a time, before reverting to either Stop/Go. Road users may experience short delays and are encouraged to allow additional travel time where possible.

There will be short, temporary closures of one-lane sections of Vista Paku, Centreway and Kennedy Park Drive in mid-November while our contractors undertake chipseal resurfacing. Residents will be able to access their properties but may experience short delays entering or exiting the area.

Only one lane will be closed at a time. Detours will be in place. (The timing of the work is weather-dependent.)
