Ngaruawahia say that there are roadworks coming up in Raglan soon. A photo (see right) used on the Waikato District Council website with the announcement, suggests the works could be on SH 23 near the Te Mata turnoff. The media release text says that the works will be on Wainui Road from just before the bridge by the Wainui Bush Reserve and finishing at the intersection of Te Ahiawa Road. See map below.
Local residents living in this area said on Facebook that they haven’t been told about any work, so perhaps the roadworks are somewhere else.

Raglan’s Wainui Road to be reconstructed
Work has started to reconstruct Raglan’s Wainui Road.
Residents have been visited by Council’s roading team with a set of plans which outline the six week project which is due to finish mid-November, weather depending.
The roading team wanted to do the work before peak summer time and will also leave the site in a good, free-flowing usable condition over Labour weekend at the end of October.
The work site starts just before the bridge by the Wainui Bush Reserve and finishes at the intersection of Te Ahiawa Road.
The work will be split in two parts to ensure as little disruption as possible to residents and road users. The aim is to work on the upper section from Te Ahiawa Road to east of Ngarunui Beach Road first before then progressing to the bridge by the Wainui Bush Reserve.
You are talking about two different road controlling authorities here – SH23 is managed by NZTA and NOT council…. its a state highway, why would council have works programmed for SH23? Its probably a link to NZTA’s work sites not councils. Wainui road works is on a council google map… you just need to know how to look for it.
Yes I know that. Seems WDC doesn’t. See https://www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz/news/media-releases/article/2016/10/12/raglan-s-wainui-road-to-be-reconstructed
