Fixing the Doctor - night works planned for State Highway 6
Roads
The Doctor Creek Bridge, between Belgrove and Kohatu is due to be resurfaced, weather permitting, later this month.
Contractors will be onsite at the bridge on the night of Wednesday, 19 March to complete asphalting work.
Because of there is limited road space, the bridge and the highway must be closed to traffic while this work is completed.
Resurfacing bridge decks cannot be completed effectively under stop/go traffic management. A full closure also allows the job to be completed much faster, meaning less over all disruption for road users.
A closure will be in place on State Highway 6 between Wai-iti Valley Road and North Road from 7 pm on Wednesday, 19, March until 6 am on Thursday, 20 March. However, access will be available for affected residents and emergency services.
