Orams Road Bridge temporary closure
Orams Road Bridge will be closed from Saturday 22 April for 5 months, reopening in October. This is so that we can rebuild the bridge to widen the motorway beneath for an additional fourth lane. Detour routes for traffic, buses, pedestrians and cyclists will be in place so allow extra time for your journey.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. For more information please call 0508 6982 724 or click here.

Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
