Porirua drivers face an overnight closure of The Ramp at Titahi Bay and continuing southbound lane closures on Transmission Gully during a week of roadworks from 14 to 20 November.
The Ramp is scheduled to close fully for resurfacing from 9pm on Sunday 15 November until 4.30am on Monday. The work is part of NZTA Waka Kotahi’s planned programme for the week.
On Transmission Gully, drainage work will restrict southbound traffic between Wainui Saddle and Battle Hill, and between Rainbow Bridge and the Pāuatahanui interchange. Lane closures and temporary 30km/h speed limits are scheduled to remain in place day and night from Saturday 14 November through Friday 20 November.
Drivers heading between Porirua and the Hutt Valley on State Highway 58 also need to allow for overnight stop/go controls at Judgeford. Project work between Moonshine Road and Flightys Road is planned on Sunday 15 to Thursday 19 November nights, from 7pm to 5.30am the following morning.
Footbridge construction will bring further traffic management around Pāuatahanui later in the week. Stop/go controls are scheduled at the roundabout from 7pm on Thursday 19 November until 5am on Friday. West of the roundabout, stop/hold controls for pedestrian management are planned from 8am to 4pm on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 November.
For those travelling north on SH59, project work at the Paekākāriki Link Road intersection is scheduled from Tuesday 17 to Friday 20 November, with stop/go traffic management between 9am and 6pm.
Porirua motorists travelling through Wellington should also check their evening route. A northbound road closure at the Terrace Tunnel is planned from 9pm to 4.30am on Sunday 15 to Thursday 19 November nights for the Karo Drive upgrade. Drainage work at Churton Park, between the northbound off-ramp and on-ramp, will close a northbound lane on those same nights from 7pm to 5am.
NZTA advises that heavy rain can prevent maintenance and paving work from going ahead, so the programme may change or be postponed at short notice.
