We have made the decision not to do a full 24/7 closure when we do the maintenance on SH1 Taupō airport roundabout to Tūrangi later this year. We do have considerable maintenance to do on this stretch of SH1, including some significant bridge work, so there will still be disruptions over a more extended period than if we had used a closure.
We are currently investigating the best options for getting this work done. This could include stop/go, having 1 lane open and nightworks or a combination of all of these. We are working through this with our contractors and once we have a clearer plan, we will come to the community, freight and businesses to talk about what is proposed, as soon as we can.
