Dear Neighbour,

Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth project will be installing temporary barriers on SH1 north of Pūhoi and south of Mahurangi West Road. 

For safety reasons traffic management will be in place on SH1 between the hours of 8.00pm and 4.00am, when traffic volumes are lower to and to minimise disruption. The works are scheduled to commence on Sunday 20 September 2020, with a duration of works planned for one night. The date is weather dependant. 

What does this mean for you?

Stop/go traffic management will affect vehicles travelling in both directions on SH1, north of Pūhoi.  As a result, there may be a small delay while works are happening.  Traffic management is put in place for everyone’s safety, we appreciate your patience while this work happens. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Extended Work Hours

The full list of upcoming works is at Latest Road Closures For Motorway Related Works Update for Puhoi

Dear Neighbour,

We are writing to update you on our extended work hours during the summer season.  Starting this week, we may be working on site from 6.00am – 8.00pm, Monday to Sunday in some isolated areas across the whole project.  In the Pūhoi area we have a lot of work coming up and I will keep you updated on this as the work happens. In the next two weeks you will see people working on top of the Pūhoi Viaduct. This team will be doing steel fixing, this is relatively quite work and doesn’t require machinery. 

We also need to lift the remaining girders/beams, place the deck panels and then pour the concrete onto them, we also have work planned for the Pūhoi on and off ramp and the Pūhoi Road intersection as a whole. With some of the works planned, you may experience a small increase in noise levels (but still within our consent conditions). We will try to limit any disruption but do thank you for your patience while we get this important work done.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

NX2: Busy Summer Sundays

With summer just around the corner and bulk earthworks starting to kick off, it is important that the Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth Project utilise our time and resources wisely. This includes making the most of the increased daylight hours and warmer weather. To do this we are planning to work extended hours in some areas of the project and will also be working on Sunday’s, weather permitting. 

From Sunday 13 September 2020, we will be carrying out intermittent Sunday works at various locations from Johnstones Hill Tunnel (Southern Connection) and Tapuwae o Kahumatamomoe (Moir Hill Road bridge). The projects working hours on Sundays will typically take place between 7:30am and 6:00pm, and will continue until the end of the 2020/21 summer earthworks season.

Some of you may notice noise and vibration during these works, however the project team will actively monitor this and every effort will be made to minimise disruptions. The Sunday works will be designed to comply with Auckland Council requirements for noise and vibration and our Environmental Team will be monitoring this.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Hall Quiz Night Bubbled Over With Success

The Puhoi Centennial Hall Committee would like to thank everyone for their fabulous support at the Quiz night held in the nick of time before the latest lockdown. It was wonderful to see the Hall filled with friends and neighbours enjoying themselves. A special thanks to the local businesses that very generously donated goods or services for prizes. These include The Puhoi Pub, Puhoi Valley Cheese, Puhoi Canoes, New World Orewa, Sausages by Design Silverdale and Mike Smith for making the Cheese boards. We managed to raise about $1,600.00 which will help with the general running of the Hall and maintenance. The Hall Committee put a great deal of time and effort into organising everything,  but without your support it would not have been a success. If I have forgotten to thank somebody I apologise, but be assured that your support is very much appreciated. Kind Regards Val Smith Hall Sec.

There will be no closures in place on Friday and Saturday nights. Dates are weather dependent A reduced speed limit of 30km/h will be in place while works are happening. While we will try to limit disruption to traffic flows, road users should plan ahead and allow more time for their journey Blue line denotes location of stop/go traffic management.

Planting Stage Complete!

[from Sorrel O’Leary]

Huge thank you to John & Karen Rehm who helped get the  last of the 2020 planting completed👍👍on the River Park walkway.
A reminder to please respect the new planting and keep your dogs on a leash at least up to the  macrocarpas. Some trees have already been destroyed by dogs, so please do keep your pets under control in this newly planted area.
River access is now after the macrocarpas, so if your dog likes a swim there are plenty of spots further along the walkway where they can access the river without damaging the new trees in at walkway entrance.

Thanks for your help as we regardd the river bank and help. Keep our river healthy!
