SH1 Picton to ChristchurchSH1 Taylor River Bridge Due to watermain upgrade works stop/go traffic management and a 30km/h temporary speed limit is in place on SH1 at the Taylor River Bridge until Thursday 11 December (Sunday to Thursday nights) between 7:30pm and 5:30am. Expect delays of up to 10 minutes. Read the Marlborough District Council media release for more information. SH1 Weld Pass night closures 23 November - 5 December Weld Pass will be closed for night works from Sunday 23 November to Friday 5 December, between 7pm and 5am (no work on Saturday 29 November). There will be one opening at midnight to let queued traffic through the work area. The northbound lane will travel first, followed by the southbound lane. Weld Pass must be closed to all traffic while the work is completed. It's a narrow road with limited space - resurfacing work and laying asphalt uses large machinery and it simply isn’t possible to allow traffic through the work site while work is underway. Roadworkers will lay just under 3,500 m2 of asphalt to strengthen the road surface. This will include milling/removing the old surface, before adding new layers. They will make the most of the closure by carrying out other maintenance work including culvert works, clearing drainage and attending to signage and vegetation. This work's similar to servicing your car or repainting your house - regular maintenance prevents bigger problems down the track. |
