Work continues on making the Forgotten World Highway safer.
Over the next two months, safety barriers will be installed along State Highway 43 at three sites. These sites will be the first of a larger safety barrier package for the highway.
Regional manager infrastructure delivery Rob Partridge says the initial barrier sites are near Toko, at Whangamomona, and Aukopae.
"In addition, there will be barriers constructed at multiple locations along the route over the next 12 months."
As well as the safety barriers, other safety improvements have been completed that include the installation of about 220 safety warning signs, tree removal and sealing of rest areas.
