→State Highway 23 (SH 23) is a New Zealand state highway that connects the towns of Raglan and Hamilton.[1]
Route
SH 23 commences in the Hamilton suburb of Frankton at the intersection of Massey Street and SH 1 (Lincoln Street, Greenwood Street). It travels west down Massey Street, changing to Whatawhata Road after a six-leg roundabout in the suburb of Dinsdale. After exiting Hamilton, and reaching the town of Whatawhata it shares a brief concurrency of the north-south SH 39 and crosses the Waipa River. It then continues on all the way to Raglan where it terminates on Main Road on the approach to the township.[2]
Route changes
When SH 1 used to run through the Hamilton CBD, SH 23 began at the intersection of Mill Street and Ulster Street. When SH 1 was diverted westwards away from the CBD SH 23 was shortened to where its eastern terminus currently lies.
Public transport
A public bus service which traverses the length of SH 23 is provided by Waikato Regional Council.[3]
History
The road was gazetted a State Highway in 1961. In the same year tar-sealing of the road was completed.[4]
