SH1 Detour in Putāruru on 3 Dec
State Highway 1 Tirau St, Putāruru, will be closed with a detour in place on Thursday 3 December from 7am to 5pm.
This is to allow a number of finishing jobs to be completed on the project to make central Putāruru safer for vehicles and pedestrians.
During the closure, southbound traffic will be detoured via Neal Street, Commerce Street and Market Street. Northbound traffic will be detoured via Kensington Street and Mackenzie Street.
A further overnight closure of Tirau St may take place on Sunday 6 December to help complete the project ahead of schedule.
A reminder that until the end of this week foam bitumen stabilising work is taking place on State Highway 1 between Tirau and Putāruru.
This involves mixing bitumen into the existing road structure to improve the strength of the road. This increases the longevity and waterproofing abilities of the road surface in a quick and easy manner, reducing disruption to road users.
Work is taking place between the hours of 7am and 7pm. During this time southbound traffic will be detoured via State Highway 5 and SH28 between Tirau and Putāruru.
Northbound traffic will continue to use State Highway 1, with a temporary speed limit of 30kmh in place around worksites.
While in the area, contractors will complete seal repairs, signage replacement, as well as vegetation and litter control, to minimise the overall impact on road users.
