Molesworth closure

As part of the infrastructure works associated with the Mangawhai Central development, a 500-metre section of Molesworth Drive will be closed entirely to all road users, apart from emergency services, from early Tuesday, April 26 to late Sunday, May 1 inclusive.

This is to allow a major road upgrade and realignment connecting to the new subdivision.

The closure will involve night works so the project can be quickly completed and disruption to road users minimised.

During this time a detour will be in place via Cove and Tara Roads to enable access between Mangawhai Village and Mangawhai Heads.

This will add 10-15 minutes to the journey between the two centres.

Traffic management will be in place at the two one-way bridges en route.
