Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is advising motorists to avoid unnecessary travel in Northland and Auckland with heavy rainfall causing surface flooding on the state highway network across both regions.
The Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth project will be undertaking line marking works on State Highway 1 (SH1) north of the Johnstones Hill Tunnels, as part of works to complete the final road layout.
The Luggate Red Bridge on SH8A will be closed for three weeks from mid-May for maintenance work, daytime hours. The 109-year-old, single lane historic bridge is a key link between Tarras and Wanaka/Cromwell.
The recent change in weather has been a good prompt for road users to think about winter conditions and the adjustments required when driving during the colder, wetter months of the year. Ice, fog, rain and snow can make for unforgiving road conditions.
The details below outline the main planned state highway roadworks occurring in the greater Wellington region and the top of the South Island over the coming week (7 May 2023).
The bad weather affecting the top of the South Island may affect the timing of some of these works.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises of the following closures for motorway improvements. Work delayed by bad weather will be completed at the next available date, prior to Friday, 12 May 2023.
