Road closure in Kaitoke Regional Park
The waterworks gorge section of the road in Kaitoke Regional Park will be closed from the 18th-22nd of March. This closure is to resurface the road and to install safety barriers close to the steep drops in the side of the road.
While closed to traffic, there will still be on foot access available for visitors wanting to visit our iconic swing bridge and Rivendell. This will add 30 minutes return onto your walk.
We apologise for this inconvenience but you can soon look forward to a safer driving experience in the park. Check www.gw.govt.nz... for more info.
