Brief closures of State Highway 1 are planned when Marlborough Lines replaces power poles and electricity lines at Lake Grassmere next month.
The lines company will carry out upgrades and improvements adjacent to State Highway 1 from Kaparu Road/Grassmere Road to Marfells Beach Road on 5 and 7 March.
Because the power lines cross the state highway at three separate locations in the project area, a series of brief road closures will be necessary to ensure drivers are kept safe when the old power lines are removed and replaced.
These closures, which are expected to create 30-minute traffic delays, are scheduled to happen between 9 am and 3 pm on March 5 and 7.
There are no local road detours available.
