Night work on the motorway next week involves continuing the demolition of the Orams Road Bridge, asphalting in the median at the Pahurehure Inlet, and Slipforming the new median barrier under Alfriston Road Bridge. If it rains or ground conditions are too wet, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.
To construct an additional fourth southbound lane from SH20 to Hill Road, the eastern span of Orams Road Bridge will be widened. Orams Road Bridge will be temporarily closed to all pedestrians and traffic while this work takes place from April 22 to October 2017.
Night closures are typically from 9pm at night to 5am in the morning. Work 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.
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 the public as much as we can.
We thank you for your patience as we work to improve journey reliability and safety along the Southern Corridor.
If you have any questions or queries, please contact our team on free phone 0508 NZTA SCI (0508 698 2724) or email us at southerncorridor@nzta.govt.nz . Also feel free to visit us at the Project Office located at 8 Great South Road, Takanini.
