We are relocating the existing pedestrian crossing on Dave Culham Drive. We will install the pedestrian crossing to comply with new best practice requirements outlined by Waka Kotahi.

This crossing forms an important link for future cycleways and shared paths. It will create a safe crossing to the Pohe Island Bike Park, Pohe Island Pump Park and the Whangārei BMX Club.

What we are doing

  • relocating the existing pedestrian crossing
  • extending the road median and installing a new island
  • installing some new kerb and channel to improve drainage
  • increasing street lighting. 

What to expect

Dave Culham Drive will be reduced to one lane during this work. One-way traffic will be able to come across Te Matau a Pohe bridge – from Port Road to Riverside Drive only.

All traffic travelling into town from Onerahi will need to travel down Riverside Drive (no access to Dave Culham Drive). This will be in place 24/7 for three weeks.

We will try to keep disruption to a minimum. Please allow additional time for travel and follow the signs and detours posted. 

Thank you in advance for your patience.
