Up Te Karaka Way
Two big construction jobs near Te Karaka will improve communications in that area when they are completed.
Just west of the township, a section of the main highway adjacent to the Waipaoa River is being built up to avoid flooding when the river rises.
Where the Whatatutu road leaves the main highway at Puha, sheep cross the old bridge over the Waipaoa. A short distance downstream, a start has now been made with the construction of a new bridge.
