UPDATE 1:45 pm:
State Highway 58 is now open in both directions between Joseph Banks Drive and James Cook Drive. Localised flooding and a slip that earlier affected the route have been cleared.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising road users that due to ongoing rockfall risk and poor weather forecast through the coming week, the SH73 route between the West Coast and Canterbury will continue to close overnight from 5.30pm to 8am this week, opening subject to inspection.
As part of Stage 1A of the SH1 Papakura to Drury project, all new lanes on SH1 between Papakura interchange and the motorway service centre south of Park Estate Road bridge are now fully open.
The SH73 route between the West Coast and Canterbury was closed around 1am this morning when heavy rain brought more rocks and material onto the highway at the western side of the rock shelter, near the Otira viaduct.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi advises of the following closures for motorway improvements. Work delayed by bad weather will be completed at the next available date, prior to Friday, 30 August 2024.
