State Highway 2 roundabout resurfacing planned for Masterton next week

The State Highway 2/Dixon Street roundabout in Masterton is scheduled to be closed for roadworks next week on Wednesday and Thursday nights (9 and 10 April) between 9pm and 4:30am.

The Wellington Transport Alliance will be resurfacing the roundabout as part of the ongoing state highway summer maintenance season.

The work will see the roundabout closed to all traffic. Local road detours will be available via Te Ore Ore Road, Colombo Road, Church Street, and Lincoln Road. Drivers should allow for extra travel time. The detour is suitable for heavy vehicles.

These works are to be done at night when fewer vehicles are on the road. This helps minimise disruption and delays for drivers.

NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Wellington Transport Alliance thank the public for their patience and understanding while this essential state highway maintenance is completed.

Works schedule and detour route:

• Wednesday, 9 April and Thursday, 10 April. 9 pm to 4:30 am.
• SH2/Dixon Street roundabout CLOSED to all traffic.
• All vehicles will need to detour via Te Ore Ore Road, Colombo Road, Church Street, and Lincoln Road.
