Upper Hutt safety improvements to begin this weekend
We are making some safety improvements to State Highway 2 between the Whakatiki St and Fergusson Dr intersections in Upper Hutt.
We know thousands of people use this road every day, whether it’s to get to work or school, to visit family and friends, to pick up their groceries or to see the doctor. Wherever people are going, we want them to be able to get there and back safely – which is why making this corridor safer for all road users is a priority.
Work will see the installation of median barriers along four kilometres of the motorway. Parts of the road shoulder will also be widened to accommodate the new median barriers.
There will also be some changes to the road layout in localised areas, as well as side barriers extended at the Tōtara Park Road intersection.
Safety improvements like these will help cut crash numbers and mean that if a crash does happen, those involved are more likely to avoid serious injuries or death.
These works are part of the wider SH2 Ngāūranga to Featherston safety improvements project. To find out more please visit the project website.
