Contractors working on Evans St/ SH1 in Timaru, on planned summer maintenance works between Waimataitai St and Hobbs St, have struck significant problems while resurfacing this heavily trafficked route in recent weeks.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is advising road users that maintenance work on State Highway 16 (SH16) eastbound between Te Atatu Road and Rosebank Road will take place overnight from 7pm Saturday 11 November to 9am Sunday 12 November.
From Tuesday 14 November, the two lanes on the southbound approach to the temporary roundabout on State Highway 1/3 outside RNZAF Base Ohakea will be combined into one lane.
A recipe of heavy rain and high winds followed by fine weather has meant road maintenance contractors have had to utilise a range of skills this week to ensure the state highway network has been safe and accessible.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises of the following closures for motorway improvements. Work delayed by bad weather will be completed at the next available date, prior to Friday, 10 November 2023.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s West Coast highway maintenance team Fulton Hogan will be resurfacing parts of SH67, the road into Westport, from the end of this weekend.
