Road and Highway Conditions

Bluff Road in Kūaotunu West, will be closed on either side of the bridge just before the intersection with SH25 for bridge repairs, as indicated in the aerial photo below.

The road will be closed to all motorists and pedestrians from 9am-3pm daily from 21-23 October. Emergency vehicles will be able to pass when required.

The road will be open to traffic outside the above working hours.

The full road closure is needed to repair the bridge abutment, which requires substantial excavation.

Hāhei’s Public Park and Ride car parking will be temporarily moved from Monday 5 October to Tuesday 20 October while a helipad is built for emergency service use. During this time car park 2 will be closed to the public and car parking directed to a different section within the car park on Hāhei Beach Road. Thank you for your understanding.

NZTA contractors will be doing essential road improvement work on SH25 north of Whenuakite from Wednesday 7 October until Tuesday 27 October. During this time a small section of SH25 will be under stop/go traffic management. Please plan ahead for delays of up to 5-10 minutes during work hours on this route.

State Highways are controlled by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi. Check their website for State Highway status updates. 

With work still underway at sites along SH25, it's important that motorists drive to the conditions.

To keep contractors and road users safe, signage is in place to give advance warning of worksites and potential hazards such as slippery or uneven surfaces. Please follow any temporary speed restrictions and reduce your speed as you approach these sites.
