A major part of the Te Ara Rimu Pathway project in Kihikihi wrapped up last week with work completed on Whitmore St and the road fully re-opened.
Construction of the other phases of Kihikihi’s new walking and cycling pathways will be completed in three months.
Waipā District Council transportation manager Bryan Hudson said Whitmore St was a major part of the project, so finishing this section was a great milestone.
