SH2 Remutaka Hill Progress UpdateRoadworks update |

Underslip repairs on State Highway 2 Remutaka Hill night are progressing well and are expected to be completed by mid-December. Because the completion date is weather-dependent, an exact date for finishing the work isn’t available. We will continue to provide regular updates. Escorted crossings can booked through the night of Thursday 12 December. Work crews are continuing to install rock anchors to reinforce the hillside. They have also been working on the pavement preparation ahead of road resurfacing, which is expected to happen early next week. |

Stop/go traffic management remains in place at the work site. Drivers may notice we are trialling an automatic barrier gate to improve safety, efficiency and security for workers and road users. It does not add any time for road users. |

While the underslip repairs have been underway, work crews have been busy with other maintenance tasks, such as drainage, resurfacing, and safety barrier renewals. This has helped us get ahead of our maintenance programme for next year, and we expect to announce 2025 Remutaka Hill closure dates in the coming weeks. |

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:
