Waka Kotahi is advising that SH1 Carmen Road will be CLOSED to southbound traffic from Halwyn Dr, from 1am until 5:30am Tuesday 18 January 2022 due to urgent wastewater repairs on Carmen Rd at the intersection with Buchanans Rd.
To ensure the safety of those using SH88, at Ravensbourne the road is down to one lane, while investigations continue into the cause of a sink hole over a highway culvert adjacent to Moller Park.
