On the Papakura Stream Bridge, weadditional southbound lane will create a new work zone in preparation to connectcontinue this week with asphalting works between Alfriston Road and the old and new southbound bridges together.Takanini Interchange. At the Papakura Stream Bridge northbound,Bridge, sheet piling will commence to retain the surrounding soil during bridge construction. If it rains or ground conditions are too wet, work will be postponed until the next available dry night.

 WorkWork 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 80 km/h speed limit 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 motorists as much as we can.

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