A 1.6 km stretch of road designed to handle 150-tonne logging trucks has opened in Kawerau, the result of $1.62 million in Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) funding, and $785,000 co-investment from Kawerau-based Sequal Lumber Ltd.
It is expected to remove big trucks from local roads and provide efficient connectivity between the Putauaki Industrial Park and a planned container rail terminal.
