Kauri Glen Reserve - Update on Bridge
Here's a sneak peek at progress on the massive tree-top glulam bridge being built at Kauri Glen Reserve as part of Stage 3 of track upgrades in the park. Both ends of the bridge are now in place.
When completed, the bridge will be 60m long and up to 20m high, with boardwalk at both ends. It will provide a step-free route between Kauri Glen Rd and Tui Glen Rd, with steps up to Raymond Tce. We are expecting the bridge to be open in December.
The new tracks, bridge and boardwalk are being built to a standard to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease, which is especially important in this park.
Thanks to Fort Projects for showing myself, Danielle Grant and Paula Gillon progress so far.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
