Night work on the motorway next week will involve construction of a pier protection structure under the Hill Road Bridge. Construction of the additional southbound laneWe will continue this week with asphalting works between Alfriston Road andinstall temporary traffic management to extend our median safe work zone from the TakaniniPahurehure Inlet to the Papakura Interchange. This includes narrowed lanes and a 80kph reduced speed limit in place on the morning of Wednesday 15 February on the southbound side. If it rains or ground conditions are too wet, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.

With the lanes narrowed, there is less time to react to other vehicles and 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 safe as possible is imperative and we need everyone's help to do this.

As always, we will be doing our best to minimise effects of these works on motorists as much as we can.

We thank you for your patience as we work to improve journey reliability and safety along the Southern Corridor.
