Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is advising people in Tararua to plan ahead and expect some delays on key Tararua routes over the next few weeks, as contractors work hard to improve the safety and resilience of these roads ahead of winter.
The first steps are being taken in a major infrastructure project in the capital that will significantly improve transport resilience and provide a new walking and cycling path between Wellington and Lower Hutt.
With multiple weather warnings in place for Wellington, Wairarapa, Marlborough, Nelson and Golden Bay, drivers in the regions need to be ready for hazardous driving conditions.
With strong winds and heavy rain forecast for the beginning of the working week, drivers in the lower North Island will need to take extra care on the region’s roads.
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 (12 March 2023).
15 March update #2: Due to forecast strong winds the road closure planned for Thursday, 16 March has also been cancelled. Revised State Highway 2 closure times for this operation will be provided when they have been finalised.
