Traffic notices

Traffic bulletin for the week 20 - 26 May

Traffic bulletins provide a brief overview of likely traffic disruptions for the following week. Full closures are also advertised in the Weekend Herald. Traffic bulletins are complemented by monthly construction updates and quarterly newsletters.

ALREADY IN PLACE

• Narrowed lanes and 80 km/h speed limit southbound between Alfriston Road and Pahurehure Inlet .

TRAFFIC NEXT WEEK

• Monday 23 May - Night closure of two lanes northbound on the motorway between the Takanini Interchange and Hill Road.

• Wednesday 25 May - Night closure of two lanes northbound on the motorway between the Takanini Interchange and Hill Road.

• Wednesday 25 - Thursday 26 May - Night closure of a single lane  southbound on the motorway between Hill Road and the Takanini Interchange.

UPCOMING WORKS

• No planned closures.

Night work on the motorway next week will involve:

• Earthworks along the median from Alfriston Road bridge (north of Takanini) to the Pahurehure Inlet.

• Exploratory work of underground gas lines at the Takanini Interchange.

• Concrete saw cutting and removal along the median between the Takanini Interchange and Alfriston Road.

• Relocation of services between the Takanini Interchange and Alfriston Road.

Working during the night will allow our crews to operate equipment safely while adjacent to the existing traffic lanes. Work in the shoulder and median work zones will continue during the daytime next week, but this will not affect traffic movements.

Night work closures are typically from 9pm at night to 5am in the morning. Detours will be in place to take motorists along local roads, leading back to the next motorway interchange. All detours will be clearly signposted, and maps of the typical routes can be found below. Please allow extra time for your journey at night. If it rains, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.

It is important that motorists keep to the 80 km/h speed limit past our work areas. There will be ongoing truck and project vehicle movements accessing the shoulder and median work sites. Keeping both motorists and our team members as safe as possible is imperative and we need everyone's help to do this.
