Ridge Road safety network improvements

We are currently working on safety improvements, with a specific focus on the eastern end of Ridge Road, Pookeno.

This area has steep drops and high-volume heavy commercial vehicles accessing quarry and cleanfill sites, presenting potential risks.

To address these concerns, we have implemented interventions at the highest risk locations. Additionally, we have reduced the speed limit to further support these safety measures.

Project Updates
