However, in response to community feedback, it has changed the road closure times and days, says NZ Transport Agency System Manager, Steve Mutton.
The new plan is to close the road for four days at a time, instead of three.
The first closure, which is dependent on dry weather, will take place on:
Saturday, 24 February
Sunday 25 February
Monday 26 February
Tuesday 27 February.
On each day, the road will be:
Closed at 8:30am
Open 4pm–5pm
Closed 5pm–8pm.

If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.

There are a few unlucky people who are terminally ill and suffering terribly. They are not allowed to end their life and anybody helping them will be prosecuted. Then there are those, like this little 9-year-old, who are also terminally ill, but they want to live. She could be treated and her life could be saved, but the law does not allow it.
Please click the link and sign a petition to amend this law, so an exception can be made for compassionate use.
