Good progress is being made on the re-surfacing work on the Otira Gorge, part of the Arthur’s Pass SH73 route connecting the West Coast and Canterbury, says the NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
Drivers travelling between Picton and Blenheim can expect delays tomorrow (Tuesday, 5 December) as contractors continue repair works on State Highway 1 at the Picton Elevation.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says that favourable weather forecast from Tuesday (5 December) on the Arthur’s Pass/ Otira gorge alpine route means that resurfacing will begin after 10 am with a full highway closure to 6 pm.
Road users can expect delays if they’re travelling on State Highway 58 this Friday night, and Friday night the following week, as a section of the highway is having its final road surface laid between Transmission Gully and Bradey Road
It's official, summer has started! The change of season and the build up to Christmas means the road renewals season is almost at the halfway point, with great progress being made across the regions.
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, 8 December 2023.
