State Highway 50 (SH50) Links Road in Napier will be closed for two nights later this month for resealing.
The road, between SH50 Korokipo Road and SH2 Hawke’s Bay Expressway, will be closed Friday 24 January and Saturday 25 January.
The work will take place between 8pm and 5am both nights and will be finished at 5am Sunday 26 January.
A detour is available for light vehicles. People travelling on SH50 wanting to access the expressway will be detoured through Waiohiki, onto Gloucester Street and right into Meeanee Road before joining the expressway. The reverse will apply for people travelling the expressway who want to access SH50.
This detour isn’t suitable for High Productivity Motor Vehicles (HPMV). The detour is expected to add approximately 5-10 minutes to people’s journeys.
This work is weather dependent and contingency dates are Sunday 26 and Monday 27 January, 8pm to 5am each night.
The following week (Monday 27 January to Friday 31 January), sections of SH50 Korokipo Road, between Ngaruroro River Bridge at Omahu and Omarunui Road, will be under stop/go traffic management for resealing.
That work will take place during the day between 7am and 5pm. Please expect delays of up to 10 minutes to journey times.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi thanks all road users for their patience while we improve both sections of SH50, ultimately making them more resilient, safer and efficient for travellers.
