- Hauraki Rail Trail bypass between Waitakaruru and Paeroa [to avoid the section of the Trail closed due to the mangrove stop bank being rebuilt]: GPX or KMZ . A temporary track beside the stop bank has been built but it leads to a nasty stretch of highway at Orongo. Our bypass route is less dangerous.
- The notorious Arataki Swing Bridge has been fully rebuilt! It is now wider and smoother. So the standard route between Mangakino and the Timber Trail is back in action - no detour required.
