Drivers in Porirua and across the Wellington region are being urged to plan ahead as roadworks continue on key state highways between 13 and 19 December.
NZTA Waka Kotahi has advised that while there are no full closures on SH1 Transmission Gully this week, several lane closures will affect traffic both northbound and southbound. These include daytime work near Flighty’s Road, and closures between Battle Hill and Rainbow Bridge, and south of Waitangirua.
In Ōhau and Kuku, linemarking and tree maintenance will bring overnight stop/go controls and altered lane layouts on SH1 from Tuesday through Thursday. Daytime works are also scheduled for parts of the Kāpiti Expressway, including northbound and southbound closures near Peka Peka, Waikanae, and Raumati.
Meanwhile, SH59 northbound between Paekākāriki and Mackays Crossing will be closed from 6am Monday to 6pm Friday for weigh bridge works. A short Sunday night stop/go control will also be in place in Pukerua Bay for streetlight pole replacement.
On SH58, ongoing works for the safety upgrade project will continue with night-time stop/go controls between Moonshine Road and Flighty’s Road from Sunday to Tuesday. Altered lane layouts will remain in place day and night throughout the week between Judgeford and Transmission Gully.
All roadworks are weather dependent and may be postponed.
NZTA encourages drivers to check for real-time updates on their journey and to allow extra travel time where delays are expected.
