Harrowfield is a suburb in eastern Hamilton in New Zealand. It was built in about 1991.Part of Tauhara Park borders the suburb. The park has a mini golf area, a playground, sports fields and walkway/cycleway paths, which connect Harrowfield to the Kirikiriroa Stream valley, Queenwood and Flagstaff. Some of the park, on the far side of Wairere Drive, covers the old Rototuna landfill. Since the late 1990s much of the leachate from the landfill has been collected for disposal at Pukete sewage works. However residents were expressing concerns about it in 2012.Christmas lights in the suburb attract many visitors.In 2017 development of a further 22 dwellings, including 8 duplexes, was approved. Previous developments were on plots of around 1,200 m2 (13,000 sq ft), rather than the higher 320 m2 (3,400 sq ft) density of the new one, which backs on to Wairere Drive.

Pukete Bridge
Pukete Bridge

Pukete Bridge is a concrete box girder bridge in Hamilton, New Zealand, spanning the Waikato River. The bridge connects the western and eastern stretches of Wairere Drive. In February 2011 an upgrade began including expand the number of lanes from two to four. It was originally expected to be completed in late 2013, but was finished in May 2013. During the early part of 2011 thousands of tonnes of earth were removed by truck and taken 3 km to build up 2 large earth ramps as part of the New Zealand State Highway 1 bypass at Horotiu. As the original road had been built largely in a gully, this included the removal of trees and other vegetation planted on the gully sides to block traffic noise. The existing cycle lane will be incorporated in the new roadway and a new three-metre-wide cycle and pedestrian clip-on added on the southern side of the bridge. By Easter 2013 4 laning was complete. The cycle lane has acoustic barrier of blue and yellow plastic panels which prevent views of the river from vehicles on the south side. The yellow panels signify the kowhai trees lining the banks of the river, and the blue panels represent the water and sky. The north side of the bridge has been lined with crash barriers to prevent cars crashing into the river after an accident. A driver was killed in 2012 after her 4-wheel drive went out of control and plunged through the barrier into the river.Traffic at Pukete Bridge in 2006 was 25,200 vehicles a day. In 2018 it was 38,400.
