Wairarapa residents and drivers need to be ready for maintenance works and median barrier repairs on State Highway 2 between Masterton and Carterton next week.
Night works are planned from Sunday 17 November until Thursday 21 November. The highway will be closed between Hughes Line and the Norfolk Road/Cornwall Road roundabout from 9pm to 4:30am.
Road crews will complete drainage work, pavement repairs, and replace signs. They will also repair the wire rope median barriers along the route.
Local road detours will be in place while the work is underway. It allows work crews to complete tasks faster, meaning less overall disruption for drivers.
The detour, through local roads, will require slightly longer travel times, so drivers are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys.
Works schedule and detour route
- Sunday 17 November to Thursday 21 November, 9 pm – 4:30am.
- SH2 CLOSED between the rest area north of Hughes Line and Norfolk Road/Cornwall Road roundabout.
- Local road detour via Cornwall Road and Hughes Line.
