	Great summer season puts motorway construction over halfway mark The Transmission Gully motorway project team has made the most of ideal construction conditions over this past summer season to progress the new 27 kilometre motorway. At the end of May, which is when the summer earthworks season officially ended, the project was well over the halfway mark for construction. Read more >

	MPs view project progress A group of Wellington MPs recently visited the Transmission Gully project to view progress. The site visit, hosted by Wellington Gateway Partnership, was a great opportunity to show the scale of works and the positive impact the new motorway will have on resilience for the Wellington region when completed in 2020.

	Construction update Great progress continues to be made across the project. Over 3.5 million cubic metres of earth has been moved this season, with construction on the new motorway’s major interchanges in full swing. Four of the project’s 27 structures are now complete, and permanent diversion works for the Te Puka and Horokiri streams is progressing well. Read more >


	Important reminder for motorists

There is now a change in the road layout on SH58, where it approaches the Pauatahanui roundabout from the Hutt Valley. Both lanes have been narrowed and the speed limit temporarily reduced to 30km/h. This is to allow safe working space on the southern side for crews working on the SH58 Interchange, where it connects to the new motorway.

Please take care when travelling through this area and travel to the temporary speed limits in place. Later this year, traffic will shift from the current SH58 layout to the new permanent road on the southern side of our site offices at Lanes Flat.
