Work is continuing on the repair of Ahuroa Road, which was severely damaged in last year’s summer storms.
An Auckland Transport (AT) spokesperson says that three of the eight underslips have mostly been repaired with five remaining.
The large slip that closed the road near 900 Ahuroa Road is largely completed and access reopened to residents on May 8. There are still some minor works, such as barrier installations to be finished at a later date, which will only require a lane closure stop/go.
Work at the hairpin slip near 849 Ahuroa Road was being worked on last week.
Work is also ongoing opposite number 859 Ahuroa Road with a lane closure in place. This work started on May 1.
All timber poles have been installed and backfilling has started.
Slip repairs were due to start on the road, 50 metres east of J Tolhopf Road, today (May 27). This work is expected to take about four months, weather dependent, and lane closure with a stop/go will be in place.
In addition, road sealing work is occurring and as part of that, the contractor is putting in two retaining walls as part of the flood repair works.
AT says the road will remain open, following completion of the major slip west of J Tolhopf Road.
