Due to scheduling changes and weather delays on other works this week, the dates for this resurfacing work have been changed.
It will now be done on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights next week (15-17 December) - weather dependent.
The resurfacing work only requires northbound lane closures between Aotea Quay and the Ngauranga Interchange. The resurfacing work will be happening in far right-hand lane. Drivers can expect to see the motorway down to one or two lanes overnight while the work is completed.
The urban motorway will be fully open to southbound traffic.
Traffic management will be set up from 7 pm, with work underway between 9 pm and 4:30 am each night. Drivers can expect delays and should allow for extra travel time when heading out of Wellington city.

Northbound lanes on State Highway 1, between Aotea Quay and Ngauranga Interchange, will be down to one or two lanes overnight next month for resurfacing.
The work will take place from Sunday, 8 December, and is expected to be completed by Tuesday, 17 December, weather permitting.
Crews will be working between 9 pm and 4.30 am, with the two lanes reopening each morning in time for commuter traffic.
Work will be carried out Sunday to Thursday nights, with no work on Friday and Saturday nights.
Traffic management will be set up from 8 pm, so drivers should expect delays from then. Southbound traffic can travel as usual.
Earlier this year, sections of the State Highway 1 Urban Motorway were resurfaced between Aotea Quay and the Terrace Tunnel. This work continues this programme.
It is a busy section of the highway, and we appreciate people’s patience as we make this stretch of the motorway safer and more resilient for road users.
Drivers are recommended to add extra time to their journey and expect delays until this state highway maintenance is completed.
These works are weather-dependent, and schedules may change if bad weather occurs.
