Work taking place on Murphy's Bend
🚧 Our work to make the notorious Murphy’s Bend on Ngunguru Road much safer has moved from the land beside the road to the road itself.
Since December 2022 our contractors have been cutting into land on the inside of the sharp bend so drivers can better see the road layout as they approach and negotiate the bend.
Now that the ground is prepared, our contractors will reconstruct and widen the pavement, improve the road camber and resurface with a more skid resistant surface to improve safety.
The final step will be the new safety barrier and road markings.
🛑🟢 The contractor will be setting-out the site in early March and expect to start construction soon, for completion by the end of May (weather permitting). To keep everyone safe during the work, speed limits will be reduced to 30km/h and temporary traffic lights will be installed to allow one lane of traffic past the work site at a time.
Hours of operation during the works are 7am to 7pm on weekdays, and on Saturdays when required. The works will be shut down during public holidays to alleviate impacts to holiday traffic.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
