Important information for drivers.
Lower North Island
- There are events planned over the coming week that drivers should be aware of.
- The Porirua Triathlon is being held at Pāuatahanui on Sunday (1 December). Because of local road closures, drivers using State Highways 58 and 59 can expect more traffic.
- The Thorndon Fair is also running on Sunday (1 December) and requires a daytime local road closure. This will affect urban State Highway 1 motorway traffic using the Tinakori on and offramps.
- There will be a local road closure from 6 am Monday, 2 December to 9 pm Wednesday, 11 December near State Highway 1 Basin Reserve to accommodate the test match between the Black Caps and England. This will affect the Buckle Street slip lane between Cambridge Terrace and Kent Terrace.
- Night closures continue for underslip repairs on State Highway 2 Remutaka Hill
Top of the South Island
- The final stages of new roundabout construction on State Highway 6 at Woodbourne begin on 28 November, and resurfacing work is planned for State Highway 1, Main St, in the first week of December. The start of road reconstruction work on State Highway 63 at Wye River has been pushed back by one week and will now start on 9 December
