Caution and the use of a 4WD is advised as the road can become very slippery when wet. Please note that this road can be closed at any time due to slips.

Road resurfacing work usually happens between October and March. Warmer air and ground temperatures allow the best results.
If you live on a street due to be resealed, our contractor Downer will deliver a notification letter to your address about a week before the work starts.
On the day of the work, parking will be restricted and there will be temporary limited access to properties for pedestrians and vehicles.
This will allow full access for the construction machinery and help the job to run smoothly so it can be completed quickly.
We aim to reduce the inconvenience to you as much as possible, but there will be trucks, rollers and workers on site so expect some noise, dust and other disruption.
You can help keep everyone safe by:
So that you don’t trek bitumen or sticky little stones from the recently resurfaced road, it’s best to avoid walking on any part of the road for several weeks at least. If you can’t avoid it, make sure you check your shoes or take them off before you go inside. You may also want to check them before you get into your car.
To ensure a tidy finished road surface, please avoid any vehicle movements that could damage the recently resurfaced road such as:
Road resurfacing is crucial to the long term maintenance and safety of our District’s roads. Each year about 75 kilometres of road is resurfaced – or 8 per cent of the District’s 975km of sealed roads. It’s a $2.1 million programme of work, of which the New Zealand Transport Agency funds half.
Most of the resurfacing done is chip seal (small stones over emulsified bitumen) because it is a cost effective way to keep water out of the underlying road structure and provides a highly skid-resistant surface. Some resurfacing is done with asphalt (smooth black surfacing), however, because of the cost, among other reasons, this cannot be used everywhere.
