Section 6 - Bridge 1 to Huharua Park Mountain Bike Trail

Section 6 (COMPLETED )Length - 760m Construction type - Compacted metal and concrete path Starting at the southern end of the new bridge, section 6 follows the harbour's edge and esplanade reserve until it reaches Huharua Park, Plummers Point. Construction (nearly complete) has included cutting a new bench-line through the steeper ground in front of the Pats Lane community to provide a more gentle gradient through this section as well as provide some screening to the close residential properties. Surplus earth removed has been used to help form the trail along this stretch of shoreline. The small bridge installed to link the esplanade reserve with Huharua Park has been temporarily removed for erosion repairs and will be reinstalled once the trail is ready to open. Construction is expected to be completed between April and June 2019 but won't be officially opened until Section 4 has been finished.
