• Monday 4 July - Thursday 7 July - Night closure of two lanes northbound  on the motorway between the Takanini Interchange and Hill Road.

Night work on the motorway next week involves removing old median barriers, setting up safe work zones by installing newly designated median barriers, and marking slightly narrowed lanes southbound from the Manukau Interchange to Hill Road. Line marking is weather permitting as dry conditions are needed. If it rains, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.

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 in place to take motorists along local roads, leading back to the next motorway interchange. All detours will be clearly signposted and can be found below. Please allow extra time for your journey at 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.
