The Weld Pass, midway between Blenheim and Seddon, underwent safety improvements and road resurfacing mid-February 2022. These works required 580 tonnes of asphalt mix, moved by eleven trucks.
Due to the 6m narrow width of this winding section of State Highway 1, the road crew used a new risk-based approach to temporary traffic management and closed the road to keep people safe.
The road crew completed the job in just four nights. Usually, it would take six to eight weeks.
