New Zealand State Highway 31
State Highway 31 (SH 31) is a New Zealand State Highway in the Waikato region. It provides a link to the harbour town of Kawhia on the west coast of the North Island.
Route description
SH 31 route begins at SH 3 in Otorohanga. The first section of this route is a joint designation with SH 39. SH 31/SH 39 initially travels north-west along Kawhia Road. After 14 km and just after the locality of Tihiroa the highway meets a junction where SH 39 carries on north and SH 31 turns sharply west, staying on Kawhia Road. The road from here on is extremely windy and treachourous, having in 2012 been assessed as the state highway with the highest personal risk.[1] SH 31 eventually reaches Pouewe Road in Kawhia where it terminates.
