With the lifting of Level 4 lockdown restrictions for construction activities on 28 April, the Transmission Gully project was able to begin a staged recommencement of construction works operating within strict new COVID-19 requirements.
While construction of the new motorway was on hold during the COVID-19 Level 4 lock down, essential site activities were carried out by our safety, traffic and environmental control teams.
The Transmission Gully motorway north of Wellington will be open by September 2021 as part of a settlement agreement reached following the conclusion of negotiations related to the commercial impacts of the COVID-19 shutdown on the project.
Construction has paused on the Transmission Gully motorway following the Government’s COVID-19 requirement for non-essential businesses to cease operation during New Zealand’s lockdown.
