Ohingaiti to Makohine Realignment


SH1
State Highway 1, approximately 15 minutes north of Hunterville.
Purpose: To provide safer and easier journeys for motorists travelling through the North Island throught the construction of a 3.6km realignment.
Location: State Highway 1, approximately 15 minutes north of Hunterville.
Engineering Features: The 3.6km realignment removes the steep, winding road on Makohine Hill that has seen a number of fatal and injury crashes, and replaces it with a straighter, safer route. The project also includes the construction of an overpass to replace a level crossing which was the scene of a double fatality last July, the construction of a three-span bridge over the Makohine stream, and a new passing lane.
