New roundabout for Onerahi

A major upgrade of the Whangarei Heads Road/Church Street (Onerahi) intersection is due to start this week.

Vehicles travel through this intersection 12,000 times every day. Morning queues on Whangarei Heads Road approaching the intersection have been growing longer every year, and the numbers of vehicles travelling this route is expected to grow steadily.

The $300,000 project to be completed by United Civil will include a roundabout and minor realignment of the kerb and a guard rail.

Work will take place after 9am during school term and is expected to be completed (weather permitting) in the next two months.
