Queenstown people used to detouring at Frankton onto Glenda Drive and the Eastern Access Road off State Highway 6 are in for a change from Wednesday, 16 December.
The new SH6 Eastern Access Road roundabout will be fully operational, with the last patch of asphalting on Tuesday, 15 December, and drivers will be able to remain on the state highway.
Meanwhile, the new Shotover Country roundabout at Stalker Road is also almost complete with asphalting this week (14 December). It will be operational next week, soon after the new SH6 roundabout at Eastern Access Road opens, in time for Christmas.
How the Queenstown roundabouts will work around Glenda Drive this Christmas to New Year.
