Our construction sites along SH5 are temporarily shutting down
Dear Customer
In line with the Government’s direction in response to COVID-19, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and the contractors and suppliers working on our behalf are stopping work on all capital projects effective from 23:59 hours on Wednesday 25 March 2020.
Our priority at this time is to ensure that while we close down the sites, they remain safe places for you to travel through or near. We will keep safe traffic management in place, as well as appropriate environmental controls.Throughout the closure you can be assured that we will continue to monitor the site and that safety remains our top priority.
You may have questions about what this closure will mean for project completion dates. We are still working to establish this information, and we will keep you updated on our website and in future updates.
Waka Kotahi remains committed to keeping New Zealanders moving and we will resume work as soon as we can.
Along State Highway 5 (SH5), Wairakei, Mihi and Rainbow Mountain, where current safety improvement work was underway, we will have temporary traffic management in place. Both lanes will remain open.
Please take care travelling through the sites, leave a gap and keep to the posted speed limit.
