A stretch of State Highway 51 Georges Drive/Ellison Street in Napier will be closing for 2 days of resealing next month.
Crews will be working on SH51 between Marine Parade and Kennedy Road on Saturday 8 February and Sunday 9 February.
The work is being done during the day on the weekend to minimise disruption to traffic and residents.
This stretch of road will close between 6am and 8pm on Saturday and between 6am and 1pm on Sunday. The road is opening earlier on the Sunday to avoid disruption of an event at McLean Park that evening.
Following that work, the road will be under stop/go traffic management for the following 2 days for line marking and sweeping loose chip.
The road won’t be closed at night, however a temporary speed restriction will be in place.
During the work, detours will be available:
- Detour 1: Kennedy Road to Wellesley Road to Latham Street
- Detour 2: Marine Parade to Warren Street to Hastings Street to Latham Street
Please allow for delays, follow detour signs and instructions from our crew onsite. Traffic will be able to cross SH51 Georges Drive at the Latham Street roundabout. Emergency services will be assisted through the site.
This work is dependent on dry weather conditions. If weather delays this work, the contingency dates are Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi thanks road users for taking the detours and to communities along this stretch of road.
