A new assessment based on recently updated traffic modelling shows the site chosen for the new two-lane Kawarau Falls Bridge on State highway 6 (SH6) near Frankton is the best location for the bridge.
The Transport Agency says it now has one northbound and one southbound lane on operating SH1 between Saddle Hill and Lookout Point in Dunedin, after they were affected by major flooding earlier today.
The closures are necessary so safety improvement work can carried out be on the entrances to the bridge, including the installation of rubber mats on the bridge approaches to improve safety for both motorcyclists and cyclists.
The opening of a new section of continuous bus shoulder on Auckland’s Northern Motorway completes the final phase in a project to improve congestion at one of the city’s significant bottlenecks.
