SH2 Remutaka Hill Progress Update

Roadworks update

11 October 2024


 

Repairs to the underslip on SH2 Remutaka Hill are well underway.

Site preparations were carried out at the underslip site earlier this week. This included marking out work zones for plant and machinery, removing guardrails, and assessing tension cracks in the road.

 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 

Drilling has begun, and contractors are preparing the site for pile installation and concrete work for the remainder of this week and into next week. Some works will be carried out during the day such as concrete pouring. The stop/go remains in place 24/7.

There will be ongoing monitoring of the slip site to check ground movement. Engineers will be on-site as required.

Drivers needing to cross the hill during the night closures must book in advance as space on escorted crossing is limited. There is only one midnight crossing available each way to maximise our working window so works can be completed as quickly as possible. Bookings can be made on the NZTA/Waka Kotahi website:
