Traffic bulletins provide a brief overview of likely traffic disruptions for the following week. Full closures are also advertised in the Weekend Herald. Traffic bulletins are complemented by monthly construction updates and quarterly newsletters.

UPCOMING WORKS

• Tuesday 7 June - Thursday 9 June - Night closure of a single lane  southbound on the motorway between Hill Road and the Takanini Interchange.

Night work on the motorway next week will involve earthworks along the median from Takanini Interchange to the Pahurehure Inlet.

Working during the night will allow our crews to operate equipment safely while adjacent to the existing traffic lanes. Work in the shoulder and median work zones will continue during the daytime next week, but this will not affect traffic movements.

Night work closures are typically from 9pm at night to 5am in the morning. Detours will be clearly signposted to take motorists along local roads, leading back to the next motorway interchange. Please allow extra time for your journey at night. If it rains, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.

It is important that motorists keep to the 80 km/h speed limit past our work areas. There will be ongoing truck and project vehicle movements accessing the shoulder and median work sites. Keeping both motorists and our team members as safe as possible is imperative and we need everyone's help to do this.

As always, we will be doing our best to minimise effects of these works on motorists as much as we can.

We thank you for your patience as we work to improve journey reliability and safety along the Southern Corridor.
