Footpath to extend Haruru-Waitangi link

04 October 2024

Residents of the Watea housing development in Haruru will soon be able to walk safely to Waitangi once a footpath extension between Nautical Drive and Haruru Falls Road is completed in December.

The 565m-long path will run along the north side of Puketona Road (State Highway 11). It will link with an existing footpath that provides pedestrians and cyclists safe access to Waitangi.

The new 1.8m wide path will be constructed of concrete and sections of raised timber boardwalk.

Work on the footpath is due to begin on 14 October and is scheduled for completion ahead of Christmas. Timelines are weather dependent.

Construction work will be undertaken Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm. Noise will increase as work begins but contractors will aim to keep this to a minimum. Driveway access may be limited to some residents but those affected will be notified beforehand.

Temporary traffic management will be in place along State Highway 11 for the safety of motorists, pedestrians and construction crews.
