State Highway 2 Otoko Hill restoration work could be completed by Labour weekend
Recently completed work at Site G on Otoko Hill included the use of shotcrete (a type of sprayed concrete) and soil nails (reinforced steel bars installed in pre-drilled holes) to repair an underslip to strengthen the roadside.
State Highway 2 on Cyclone Gabrielle-ravaged Otoko Hill is planned to be fully restored to use by Labour Weekend while other SH2 and SH35 repairs are scheduled for completion mid-2026.
Transport Rebuild East Coast (Trec) project lead Richard Bayley told the Gisborne Herald the 'stretch target' for completing Otoko Hill
