Traffic notice for the week 16 - 22 June 2017

• Tuesday 27 June - Wednesday 28 June - Night closure of the full southbound motorway between the Takanini off-ramp to the Takanini on-ramp.

UPCOMING WORKS (dates may be subject to change)

Night work on the motorway next week involves vegetation clearance, hydroexcavation and piling works at Takanini, fill placement at Alfriston and general road maintenance. If it rains or ground conditions are too wet, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.

To construct an additional fourth southbound lane from SH20 to Hill Road, the eastern span of Orams Road Bridge will be lengthened.  While this work takes place, Orams Road Bridge will be temporarily closed to all pedestrians and traffic until October 2017.

Work during the night will allow our crews to operate equipment safely while adjacent to the existing traffic lanes. Work in the shoulder and median work zones will continue during the daytime next week, but this will not affect traffic movements.

With the lanes narrowed, there is less time to react to other vehicles and it is important that motorists keep to the 50-80 km/h speed limits past our work areas. There will be ongoing truck and project vehicle movements accessing the shoulder and median work sites. Keeping both motorists and our team members safe as possible is imperative and we need everyone's help to do this.

As always, we will be doing our best to minimise effects of these works on the public as much as we can.

We thank you for your patience as we work to improve journey reliability and safety along the Southern Corridor.
