Works underway south of Wayby Valley Road
Additional temporary steel barriers have been installed to allow the shoulder widening and installation of underground services south of the Hoteo Bridge.
Once we have completed the necessary work on the northbound side we will then switch and begin work on the southbound side.
The project team have commenced installing underground services between Forestry Road and Waiwhiu Road.
Temporary speed limits
We receive regular feedback from customers asking why there is a reduced speed limit through this section on days where no works appear to be happening on site.
The reduced speed limits are in place due to the temporary steel safety barriers we have installed along the edge of the traffic lanes. The location of the barriers means there is currently no road shoulder and the traffic lanes are slightly narrower.
The temporary speed limits throughout the Dome Valley are as follows:
- 30km/hr when state highway traffic is under manual stop/go control (generally only during nightworks);
- 50km/hr when working behind the barriers, or when there are potential safety risks such as faded roadmarkings or pavement damage, which require nightworks to repair; and
- 70km/hr at all other times through the construction areas, due to the reduced road width.
To ensure the safety of all road users, including cyclists, reduced speed limits will remain in place until the works are complete.
