Cape Palliser Road closed a week – for repairs 

Apr 2025

Cape Palliser Road’s ford over Mangatoetoe Stream is under repair and closed between the Lighthouse and Ben Avon Grove from April 7 through April 14, with traffic management in place.

No detour will be available during the work but pedestrian and parking access will be. Signage has been in place for the two weeks prior to the start of the repair work.

Council officials said new concrete is being installed after the old concrete ford bed was damaged and reinforcing steel exposed. 

For visitors to the area, there is “a small number” of parking spaces at the roadside before the ford.
