Night work on the motorway next week involves concrete pour to create the formwork at Hill Road Bridge. Moving barriers, line marking and small pavement works near the Pahurehure Inlet. Laying preliminary road surfacing along Conifer Grove. As well as general surveying and measurement works. If it rains or ground conditions are too wet, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.
Work 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.
With the lanes narrowed, there is less time to react to other vehicles and 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 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.
