Our friends at NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) alongside Higgins contractors will be resurfacing State Highway 35 (SH35) with new asphalt at the Elliot Street and St John Street roundabout in Ōpōtiki.
To enable this work to be done, SH35 at the roundabout will be closed daily, between 8.00 am to 4.00 pm, Wednesday 26 to Friday 28 February. This work is weather-dependent.
By closing Elliot and St John’s Street, and the roundabout, this work can be completed more efficiently and safely.
