Mata Bridges repairs to close SH1 in Northland at night

Ian Crayton-Brown from Northland Road Safety

The Transport Agency advises motorists in Northland that further roadworks are about to start on State Highway 1 near Oakleigh and will involve night closures..

The new work is focused on repairs and resurfacing of the three Mata Bridges between Oakleigh and Ruakaka.

This new work is in addition to the ongoing night-time road repairs at Oakleigh which started in early February. Those works are taking longer than expected because of the wet summer weather and now won’t be finished until after Easter, says the Transport Agency’s System Manager Steve Mutton.

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

Please note: There are NO screenings by WFS at Forum North on Thursday 2nd May due to the venue being unavailable.

But on Thursday, 9th May at 6pm, WFS will be screening a behind-the-scenes doco on the greatest racing driver of his time, Sir Jackie Stewart.

Our 8pm screening will be the film version of the best-selling book, Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.

JACKIE STEWART
UK, 2023, Documentary, 95 mins

This documentary shines a light on Formula 1 World Champion, team owner and legend of the sport, Sir Jackie Stewart.

Using previously unseen footage, Sir Jackie’s life is detailed from his early years in Scotland, to the rush of his first F1 World Championship title in 1969.

Stewart's fame and success was followed by tumultuous times when, despite opposition from those who wanted F1 to be ‘gladiatorial’, Stewart set out to improve racing safety for drivers and pit crews.

"Whether you're a new fan or a lifelong F1 fanatic, this stunning documentary is worth your time." - Race Fans Magazine
