It's taken over a year but State Highway 11 between Kawakawa and Opua is fully repaired after a massive slip closed the road at Lemons Hill last February.
The NZ Transport Agency has completed another milestone in the rehabilitation of Lemons Hill, with the resealing of State Highway 11 past the hillside.
The resealing was completed last week, just over a year since the big slip that led to months of road closures and disruption for locals and visitors to the Bay of Islands, NZTA Northland system manager Jacqui Hori Hoult said.
"The resealing of the road is the icing on the cake, really. It completes the restoration of the state highway after the slip," she said.
