The Marlborough Roads Recovery programme continues to make steady progress across the Kenepuru with two-thirds of all identified faults completed.
Moetapu Bay Road crews have finished a retaining wall, installed six new culverts and two road retreats. Three new retaining walls have been built between Mahau and Onahau roads.
At Te Mahia, road realignment and drainage improvements are largely complete, with one site to go. On Torea Road, a retaining wall, stabilising a large over slip and a road retreat are now complete.
Between Nikau Cove and the Kenepuru Heads campsite, crews have started a road retreat and culvert installations.
As construction continues, planned closures in the Kenepuru will return to extended hours that were in place before Christmas.
The first closure between Mahau Road and Portage Bay will operate from Monday to Thursday, from 8am – 12pm and 12.30pm – 5pm. On Friday the closure will have an early finish of 3.30pm.
Timings and locations of all planned closures in the Kenepuru can be found on the CDEM map on Council’s website.
The Marlborough Roads Recovery programme remains focused on reinstating safe, reliable access for the community. Drivers are thanked for their patience.
