PR-22014 Horotiu Link Road [Completed]

Project Update

February 2025 - Waikato District Council are removing the temporary roundabout and all of the associated temporary traffic control devices and signs starting from 7pm on 27th February 2025.

The work will be completed and the road reinstated back to how it was before 6am the following morning.

October 2024 - Project is now completed.

Traffic will no longer have to use detour routes as Horotiu Road over the railway line to Gt South Rd will be temporarily open while developer agreements are being finalised.

Once that agreement is finalised in the coming weeks, the link road through to Northgate Business Park and Great South Road at the traffic lights will be open and the railway crossing permanently closed.

Preparations to open up the intersection are taking place early this week including: raising manhole lids and sealing a trench line, asphalting and building speed table ramps.

On Thursday morning line-marking will take place and then the intersection will be opened up.

All of the above is weather permitting, but the team is confident it can all get done for Thursday.

There will be traffic management in place and a barrier at the start of the link road itself will remain until the developer agreement is signed off.

Council thanks the community for their patience over the course of this project.
