Pohipi Road Restrictions

Poihipi Road from Wairakei Drive to Whangamata Road from 5:30am to 10.30am event day will be closed for westbound traffic, ie. traffic traveling from Taupo to Kinloch. There will be a detour in place, please follow signs. This will affect not only residents on that road but all the feeder roads. We regret the inconvenience caused and hope you can overcome the restrictions by scheduling earlier or later travel plans. Western Bays SH32 will be open but thousands of cyclists will be riding so progress will be slow. If you do have an emergency situation a 111 call will still respond.
