SH2 Remutaka Hill April closure CANCELLED

17 April 2026


 

Following our communications earlier on in the week, the SH2 Remutaka Hill closure on Sunday 19 April has been cancelled.

We've rescheduled the April planned maintenance works to next month's May closures. The work we'd scheduled for April wasn't enough to warrant a closure nor was it urgent work, so we can easily fit it into next month.

The May and June night closures are still going ahead. More information on these closures soon.
