[edit]SH 34 begins at SH 2 just west of Edgecumbe. SH 34 travels south on Awaiti South Road and Hallett Road. It reaches SH 30 where it shares a short concurrency, turning left then immediately right. SH 34 then travels south-west through the northern outskirts of Kawerau and past the Tasman Pulp and Paper Mill. It continues westwards until it intersects SH 30 again and terminates. The highway was gazetted in the early 1990s.
