Improvements underway on SH1

The finishing touches are being applied to the fifth turnaround bay in the SH1 Cambridge to Piarere safety improvements project, just north of Hickey Road. Along with constructing the turnaround bay, we’ve widened the entrance road at the weigh station on SH1, between Hickey and Hydro Roads, and will be installing median and side safety barriers.

Night works began Tuesday 4 June, to undertake new line marking, followed by the removal of existing line marking and the installation of barriers. This work will continue overnight on Sunday to Friday, between 7pm and 6am, until early July (weather dependent).

Motorists should expect delays as there will be periods of alternating stop/go traffic management.
