Work to widen Poihipi Rd
Poihipi Road will be widened in three sections which are deemed to be high risk areas for cyclists. Taupo District Council approved the road works at a Council meeting on 26 March 2013.
In addition to the road widening, other improvements will be made to the road including pavement repairs and guard-railing. The Taupo Cycle Club was consulted during the selection of the sections of road that are to be widened.
The contract was awarded to Downer NZ Limited for $390,000, which was also the lowest tender submitted. Funding was allocated in the Transportation Budget of the Long Term Plan 2012/22. The project is expected to commence early April and estimated to finish early June.
