Road Works and Conditions

Members of the public are advised to check the status of roads before they start their journey, as some may be closed. For State Highway information people can call 0800 4HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49) or visit:

Temporary speed limits are used on active sites for the safety of the road users and the contractor's staff. Please follow the Temporary Traffic Management that is in place.

Emergency Works

Much of the Ruapehu road network is ever susceptible to slips and dropouts due to the environment that we live in.

Crews may respond at any time to urgent jobs elsewhere in the district to clear slips and fallen trees from roads, and may leave the above sites unfinished but will return to complete once other sites are made safe. Please follow all Temporary Speed Limits and Temporary Traffic Management.

Sealed Roads

Seal repairs for the 2022/23 construction season are currently being programmed. These repairs will be undertaken by Council’s new maintenance contractor Inframax.

Unsealed Roads

Jilesen Contractors have two graders working full time on the unsealed network.

The wire and rubbish hidden in long grass is one of the main causes of fires during summer from roadside mowing, it would be helpful if people could keep their roadsides clean and clear. The programme to remove larger branches, overhanging and encroaching vegetation has been completed for the year.
