Mangawhai Shared Path update

Downer is working hard to get construction done through the winter period, in time to have the third phase of the shared path open for use when summer rolls round again. Please be kind to workers on site – their efforts keep the traffic flowing as smoothly as possible - and take care when travelling through the areas.

There’s plenty happening across different areas:

By the end of next week the Downer team working between Wood Street and Findlay Street will complete this section and move south, between Findlay and Awatea Street. There will be traffic management in this section including stop/go on Molesworth Drive and a road closure on Awatea Street (residents only will have access).

The shared path team have also been working on the section along Molesworth Drive by ITM and MAZ (Mangawhai Community Park). From 1 July southbound traffic will be diverted around Moir Point Road/Seabreeze Road for approximately two-three weeks. The detour route adds only a couple of minutes to journeys, keeps traffic flowing and avoids a stop/go, and was identified as the best solution after consulting with many of the businesses in the area. Northbound traffic will continue to use Molesworth Drive. 

From 1 July there will also be stop/go for two weeks between Old Waipu Road and Mangawhai Central, in order to complete piling and associated works on the shared path.

There's plenty happening on Mangawhai's Shared Path in coming weeks
