SH2 Remutaka Hill November closures |
|
6 November 2025 |
|
The SH2 Remutaka Hill will close for resurfacing, paving, drainage and vegetation maintenance for 5 nights from Sunday 16 - Thursday 20 November, 9pm to 4am. Escorted crossings We are able to escort drivers over the hill at certain times during the closures. Bookings can be made online here: Remutaka Hill Closure Escort Booking Form Book in advance by 4pm on Friday for the Sunday 16 November closure, and 4pm the day prior for weeknight closures. Escorted crossings are for light vehicles only, not heavy vehicles. Reduced escorted crossings this month Due to more extensive resurfacing works this month, there are a reduced number of escorted crossings, as follows. It's not possible to accomodate more than two crossings as this can cause delays to the road re-opening the next morning.
Please be patient - the crossings will be slow for everyone's safety. Numbers are strictly limited and vehicles without a booking risk being turned away or having to wait for the next opportunity. Access will be available for 'flashing light' emergency services throughout the closure. Road crews can complete a large amount of work during these closures to keep this road safe for road users. Thank you for your patience as we carry out this essential maintenance work. 2026 escorted crossings You may notice that you can't book crossings for next year. We will notify you in the coming months about when you can make a booking. |
