In 2024 Ōpōtiki District Council began a resurfacing project which extended across Elliott, King, Church and Richard streets. Various stretches of road were resurfaced in 2024 along with the Church Street paving area, and to minimise disruption, some areas of resurfacing were deferred to 2025. These areas are being addressed now.
Council has scheduled to resurface Elliot St, Church Street/King Street and Church Street/Richard Street intersection to extend the life of the road, provide a smoother road surface and to maintain safety profile of both street intersections
The resurfacing of Elliot St, the Church Street/King Street and Church Street/Richard Street intersections will be completed using asphaltic concrete, more commonly known as hot mix. Council has engaged Fulton Hogan to complete the resurfacing works of the Church Street/King Street and Church Street/Richard Street intersection.
