Anderson Road/SH84 roundabout, Wānaka, work starting early November at nights

Wānaka residents and people who use the SH84 roundabout with Anderson Road will need to build in an extra 10 minutes for a week at night from early November, says NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA).

SH84, the Wānaka-Luggate highway, at the Anderson Road roundabout is getting fresh asphalt ahead of the holiday season.  The roundabout area will be reduced to a single lane for repairs and re-sealing with traffic detoured around the site.

Traffic speeds will be reduced to 30km/h around the road work site.

“There will be detours in place for drivers who would normally take Anderson Road. Mt Iron Drive entrance will be closed off Anderson Road also, but residential access will be managed for both those streets. The journey along the detour routes could add ten minutes to the normal trip,” says Nicole Felts, Journey Manager for NZTA in Otago.

“This work is weather dependent so if it rains it could be postponed to the next run of dry nights.”

Works are planned to start Sunday 3 November and run through to Friday night, 8 November – from 8pm each night to 5.30am the following day.
