State Highway 21 Airport Road will have three-way Stop/Go in place around Wiremu Tamihana Drive in Tamahere next week while a final asphalt surface is laid over the site of the SH21 Underpass.
State Highway 21 Airport Road will have three-way Stop/Go in place around Wiremu Tamihana Drive in Tamahere for three nights from Sunday 12 June while a final asphalt surface is laid over the site of the SH21 Underpass.
Preparatory work begins overnight Sunday with three-way Stop/Go traffic management in place from 8pm until approx. 1am.
Monday and Tuesday nights – physical paving works will be underway with three-way Stop/Go traffic management in place between 7pm and 6am.
Motorists are asked to take care when travelling through the site, which will have a speed limit of 30kph.
Doing the work at nights means there are less vehicles on the roads, which is safer for our staff and reduces the impact on motorists and adjacent business.
The work may be postponed in the event of bad weather.
The underpass, which was completed earlier this year, is part of Te Awa, the Great NZ River Ride.
The last part of the project involves some final chipsealing between the underpass and the Tamahere Interchange to permanently cover redundant road markings. This will take place in the warmer summer months.
