Clevedon-Kawakawa Road safety improvements

We are planning to improve safety at high-risk bends along the Clevedon-Kawakawa Road corridor.

This project includes a series of cost-effective measures that aim to reduce the risk associated with vehicles losing control. This will help ensure drivers can safely navigate through these high-risk locations.

What we're proposing and where

Improve the road surface on the approach to and through the bend to enhance skid resistance:

• Holdens Road intersection
• Ness Valley intersection
• 476 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• between 659 and 661 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 1331 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road.

Install Active Warning Signs (AWS) to encourage safe and appropriate speeds:

• 250m east of 102 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road (eastbound)
• 10m east of 411 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road (westbound).

Re-mark existing road markings to guide motorists more effectively. 

Reseal driveways and shoulders to prevent gravel migration and where possible, widen the shoulders:

• 262 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 270 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 287 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 300 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 390 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 370 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 410 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 764 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 782 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 790 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 800 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 806 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 810 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road
• 1168 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road.
