One more day to finish resurfacing of SH1 through Mangamuka Gorge
The NZ Transport Agency thanks motorists in the Far North for their patience and understanding as wet weather continues to disrupt the resurfacing of State Highway 1 through the Mangamuka Gorge.
Contractors need one more day of fine weather to finish the job, says the NZ Transport Agency’s System Manager Steve Mutton.
The road will be closed this Sunday, 11 March to make up for the day lost last weekend. The closure will follow the same timetable as previous weekends, starting at 8:30am on Sunday. It will reopen 4pm – 5pm and close again until 8pm if necessary.
The resurfacing requires dry weather, so any rain will force a postponement to Monday or Tuesday.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
