Motorists are being warned about maintenance on the creek bridge north of Atiamurui in late November and early December. A major bridge on State Highway 1 north of Atiamuri will be closed for six days in December for repairs. Waka Kotahi NZTA says an underground stream is threatening to undermine the southern abutment of the Mangaharakeke Stream Bridge north of Atiamuri Village. Repairs will begin November 27 and for short periods SH1 will be reduced to one lane. The bridge will then be fully closed for up to six days from December 2 to allow sheet piles to be driven, with SH1 traffic detoured via SH32 and SH30.
