Night works are planned tonight (Friday), Sunday, and Monday for State Highway 2 between Masterton and Carterton.
Road crews will be repairing concrete, completing drainage works at the Wilton’s Rd roundabout and carrying out general maintenance.
The work will require one-way night closures for northbound traffic only, with detours via Chester and Norfolk Road.
These will occur between 9 pm and 4 am when traffic volumes are at their lowest. It means disruption for the drivers is minimised and allows the work to be completed faster.
The highway will remain open for southbound traffic
During the works, residents will retain access to their properties and emergency services will have access through work sites.
NZTA/Waka Kotahi thanks the community for their patience and cooperation while this essential State Highway maintenance is completed.
Closure schedule
- On Friday, 23 August, Sunday 25 August and Monday, 26 August, the road will be closed to northbound traffic between Chester Road and Norfolk Road.
- The highway will remain open for southbound traffic.
