SH2 Remutaka Hill Progress Update

Roadworks update

24 October 2024

After three weeks of night closures, repairs to the underslip on SH2 Remutaka Hill are progressing well.

As of 22 October, nine out of fifteen piles are complete and two more piles are expected to be installed before the start of the long weekend. Our crews have utilised the closures for other maintenance activities such as pothole repairs, barrier renewals, drainage repairs, asphalt resurfacing, sign installation, and debris removal.

The Remutaka Hill road will remain OPEN Sunday 27 October night for Labour Day. Nightly closures will resume on Monday 28 October at 9pm. Booking requests for the Monday 28 night closure must be made by 4pm on Friday 25 October.

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:
