Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s Central Otago spring safety programme at both the Kawarau Gorge (Bungy) Bridge bluff and Nevis Bluff, SH6, gets underway at the end of the month.
Extra care will be needed on state highways at the top of the South and lower North Island with another round of bad weather forecast for both regions tomorrow.
Work has temporarily been halted at the asphalt paving site on Timaru’s SH1 near Waimataitai Street after very poor ground conditions were encountered earlier this week, says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Dunedin drivers who use SH1 south of the city will face a detour at Braeside from 9 am to 3 pm tomorrow (Friday), says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Maintaining the resilience of a critical highway link will see night-time closures and day-time stop/go traffic management of State Highway 60 over the Tākaka Hill later this month.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is gearing up for a busy summer with a lot of work scheduled across North Canterbury* to improve the region's highways.
Central Otago people who have been taking a detour this week on SH8 near Roxburgh can go back onto the highway as of tomorrow/Saturday midday (7 October).
