Welcome to the traffic bulletin for the week 4 March to 10 March for the
Southern Corridor Improvements Project
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.
TRAFFIC NEXT WEEK
Sunday 6 and Monday 7 March - night closure of full southbound motorway between Takanini southbound offramp (Great South Road) through to Papakura southbound onramp (Beach Road).
Monday
7 March - night closure of lanes
1 and 2
northbound motorway between Takanini northbound offramp
(Great South Road) through to Hill Road northbound onramp.
Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9
March - night closure of full northbound motorway between Takanini
northbound offramp (Great South Road) through to Hill Road northbound onramp.
Wednesday 9 March - night closure of lane 1 only southbound motorway between Hill Road southbound offramp through to Takanini southbound onramp (Great South Road).
Night work on the motorway next week involves installation of new sections of guardrail along the motorway shoulder which will help protect our team from the traffic. There will also be some asphalt widening northbound north of Takanini Interchange.
Night closures are typically from 9pm at night to 5am in the morning. Rain or other delays may mean that a closure is rescheduled to be undertaken over the next available work night. This would also affect any subsequent closures.
Detours will be in place that will take motorists along local roads, leading back to the next motorway interchange. All detours will be clearly signposted and maps of the typical routes can be found on our website. Please allow extra time for your journeys at night.
Investigation work will continue during the daytime next week and some shoulder closures are anticipated, but these will not affect traffic movements.
