As per reports, State Highway 25A will be closed overnight from 2130 hours on Wednesday (06 March) to 0500 hours on Thursday (07 March) to facilitate final restoration works at the Taparahi worksite. Accordingly, vehicles will be diverted via SH25 along the Thames coast and Coromandel township, or via SH26, SH2, and SH25 through the Karangahake Gorge, Waihi, and Whangamata. Access for local traffic along SH25A will be maintained up to the bridge from both the east and west.
