Queen Charlotte Drive closures restart
Planned daytime construction closures on Queen Charlotte Drive, near Cullen Point, Mahakipawa Hill restarted on Tuesday and will last for two to three weeks.
The road will be closed approximately 1.8km from the SH6/Havelock turnoff, on weekdays from 9.00 am until 3.00 pm with hourly openings, on the hour, to let waiting traffic through.
The closures are planned for the first phase of the construction of a mechanically stabilised earth wall, along with associated drainage upgrades.
Outside of the closure period, the site will remain under stop/go traffic management.
Multiple other recovery works sites are operating on Queen Charlotte Drive, between Cullen Point and Shakespeare Bay, under stop/go traffic management, and delays are expected.
Sealing works are also planned from Friday 23 February to Wednesday 28 February, excluding Sunday 25 February.
Road users are warned of increased truck movements and encouraged to plan ahead for delays or to use the SH1/SH6 inland route during this period, where possible.
