The full Takitimu Dr side of the Waikareao Estuary pathway is now open to the public.

A section of the path had to be closed following damage from a storm and king tide in early January.

Initial repairs were undertaken earlier this year but the latest closure was for more permanent repairs.

NZ Transport Agency Bay of Plenty transport system manager Rob Campbell said the sea wall has been reinforced and repairs have been carried out on the path and bridge supports.

"We are happy to have the path open to the public again and we'd like to thank people for their patience during this work," Campbell said.

A further layer may need to be added to the path to finish off the work later this year.

The path will be monitored to ensure the existing material settles before it's decided whether a final surface will be applied.

The transport agency will advise the public when and if this is needed.
