Drivers travelling between Wellington and Wairarapa can expect short delays on the Remutaka Hill later today as contractors undertake urgent drainage work on the route.
With rain forecast this weekend, contractors will install preventative drainage measures at an under-slip site and culvert, located on the Wairarapa side of Remutaka Hill, approximately five minutes’ drive from Featherston.
This work is essential and intended to protect the road from potential wet weather damage.
It will be carried out in the northbound lane under stop/go traffic management.
The work will be carried out between midday and three pm today – outside of peak commuting times. However, drivers can expect delays of up to five minutes. Please allow extra time for your journeys.
NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Wellington Transport Alliance thank drivers for their patience and cooperation while this urgent work is carried out today.
