Celly coverage = Not very good for most of the road

Thats if you can get to a phone..... not many people live along this road at present.

I guess the reason for me saying is when i went through there was still rather a lot of it and while there was some work beign done on the second section there was little on the first 10 or so clicks of the second section and no sign of work on the first set.

I heard that the section west of Gentle Annie will be sealed this year and the section east of Kuripaponga will be sealed next year.

From what I saw they seem to be on track to complete in this time scale.

Hope its done in time for Cold Kiwi in Sept.

In April I asked about this road and progress with sealing.
With Summer break almost upon us can any tell me how much progress has been made?
Cheers

Doubt there would've been any change on that road - still bout 20-30 km of shingle and ruts etc

Haven't been up there for quite awhile, so don't know. You do know that TANZ (was Transit) have taken over responsibility from Hastings DC, so sealing the remainder will be on the agenda.

No seal....... Yet!

About 11kms gravel this side of Kuri and abot 30kms the other.

I'd ride my C50T through ....... carefully!

Just gotta keep the speed down and ya wits about you or take your chances with the Gravel Gods.

Your choice.

Will be an awesome riding road once it's sealed.... cant wait

I went through in March and measured 28km of gravel,total.
So they dug up some seal?
