Residents of the Watea housing development in Haruru will soon be able to walk safely to Waitangi, once a footpath extension between Nautical Drive and Haruru Falls Rd is completed in December. The 565-metre path will run along the north side of Puketona Rd (State Highway 11) and link with an existing footpath that provides pedestrians and cyclists safe access to Waitangi. The 1.8m wide path will be constructed of concrete and sections of raised timber boardwalk. Work on the footpath is due to begin on October 14 and be undertaken Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm. Driveway access may be limited to some residents but those affected will be notified beforehand.
