Over-Dimension route – detour information
Due to construction works on Stage 1B of the SH1 Papakura to Drury project, the standard Over-Dimension route between Drury and Ramarama Interchanges along Victoria Street and Bremner Road is no longer available.
See the map below showing the current Over-Dimension detour route that is now operational between Drury and Ramarama Interchanges. This detour route may be subject to further change in future, when notified.
While the project is underway, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi has also granted explicit authority, subject to special conditions, for operators of Over-Dimension vehicles to have limited access on Auckland’s Southern Motorway between Ararimu Road (Ramarama Interchange) and Beach Road (Papakura Interchange) until replaced or revoked. A copy of that authority is included below.
