Highway repair work following recent wet weather will include some overnight works and could result in short delays for night-time road users, says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Drivers should prepare for delays on State Highway 6 near Murchison this Friday (2 September) as contractors extend the container wall at Dellows Bluff.
After an immense amount of work by contractors, the last closed section of State Highway 6 between Blenheim and Nelson will reopen to traffic at one pm tomorrow (Wednesday, 31 August).
Contractors continue to make substantial progress in reopening State Highway 6 to residents and road users. From 10 am this morning, the road closures are being shifted on the Marlborough side, allowing Rai Valley residents access to Blenheim.
Work to remove unstable pieces of rock on the Nevis Bluff will start on Monday, 29 August 2022, resulting in short delays for road users, says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Waka Kotahi contractors have fanned out across Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman to assess damage, clear debris and undertake repairs to begin re-establishing vital state highway links in the region following last week’s torrential rain.
The severity of damage to State Highway 6 between Nelson and Blenheim and State Highway 63 through the Wairau Valley means these highways will not reopen before next week.
