12 April 2024 update

Road crews will be hard at work on State Highway 1 near the Basin Reserve next Wednesday night (17 April).

Resurfacing works are planned for the intersection of State Highway 1 and Adelaide Road. The work is essential maintenance required for an urban stretch of  State Highway 1 that carries around 16 thousand vehicles every day.

Work will be carried out between 9 pm and 5 am and drivers can expect delays while traffic management is put in place.

While traffic will still be able to travel on State Highway 1 around the Basin Reserve, the entrance and exit from Adelaide Road will be closed between midnight and 4 am.  

To ensure disruption is kept to an absolute minimum, the resurfacing is being done at night when traffic volumes are lower.

Local road detours will be available, but drivers  can expect longer travel time – especially when travelling between Newtown and the Wellington CBD.

NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Wellington Transport Alliance want to thank drivers in advance for their patience and cooperation while this work is underway.

Motorists are asked to obey all traffic management controls and temporary speed limits. This ensures everyone, road crews and road users, are kept safe.
