A stretch of State Highway 3 (SH3) heading south into Bulls will be closed for 5 days while one lane is resealed.
The southbound lane of SH3, near Dudding Lake, will close from Monday 3 March, with work expected to be complete by 6pm, on Friday 7 March.
The lane will be closed each day between 6am and 6pm. During the one-lane closure, the road will be resealed between Makirikiri Road and Pukepapa Road.
Southbound traffic will detour via Makirikiri Road and Pukepapa Road and back to SH3. Northbound traffic on SH3 will be able to travel through the site, and at times, the lane will be shifted to enable the resealing work. There will be a temporary lower speed in place.
The southbound detour is expected to add about 5 minutes to journey times. Outside of work hours, the road will be open and a 30km/h temporary speed limit will be in place for safety.
This one-way closure and detour will allow crews to complete this resealing work as safely and efficiently as possible, while keeping traffic moving around the worksite.
In the event of works being delayed due to wet weather, programming changes or unforeseen circumstances, updates will be provided on our NZTA social channels and Journey Planner.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is thanking road users in advance for their patience and their support taking the detour, while we complete this important road resealing work to improve the road’s long-term condition.
