A reminder that from next week (Monday 2 December), crews will be onsite at Awakino Gorge, for a fortnight of State Highway 3 maintenance work.
During the work, between Monday 2 December and Friday 13 December, crews will focus on patch repairs and slip clearance work, as well as guardrail and signage repair.
The work will be carried out under a mix of stop/go traffic management and 3 days of closure.
The stretch of road will be closed from Tuesday 3 December to Thursday 5 December between 9.30am and 2.30pm each day.
The road closure is needed due to the narrow and winding nature of the Awakino Gorge.
Outside the road closures, stop/go traffic management will be in place 7am to 7pm, from Monday 2 December to Friday 13 December. At all other times, the road will be open.
During the stop/go traffic management outside of the closure times, road users can expect delays of approximately 20-30 minutes.
Please plan your journey accordingly during the stop/go traffic management and expect delays.
