Pāuatahanui and Whitby residents need to be ready for planned roadworks on State Highway 58 this weekend.
Directional road closures will be in place on State Highway 58, between the Pāuatahanui roundabout and SH58/Transmission Gully interchange from 8am to 8pm on Sunday 30 July.
The closures are needed to allow final surfacing works on this section of State Highway 58 to be completed. The rest of State Highway 58 between Lower Hutt and the State Highway 58/Transmission Gully Interchange will be open and operating normally.
Closure and detour details:
- Westbound Traffic (Transmission Gully towards Pāuatahanui roundabout):
- Please detour via Waitangirua interchange, Te Ara Kapehu, Navigation Drive and Joseph Banks Drive, or other local roads or state highways.
- This direction will be closed from 8 am.
- Eastbound traffic (Pāuatahanui roundabout to Transmission Gully):
- Please detour via Joseph Banks Drive, Navigation Drive, Te Ara Kapehu and the Waitangirua interchange or other local roads/state highways.
- This direction will be closed in the afternoon once the westbound lane has re-opened.
- Staffed road closure points will be operating on the closed lanes.
Contractors are working hard to complete work on this section of State Highway 58 and are making every effort to minimise the impact on road users and residents. However, this work must be done during the day because night-time temperatures are too cold to lay asphalt.
This work is dependent on various factors and may be postponed at short notice. Postponement dates are Sunday 6 or Sunday 13 August.
