Southbound closure planned next month for State Highway 1 Ngauranga Gorge

Night works are planned early next month that will see State Highway 1 Ngauranga Gorge closed to southbound traffic between Johnsonville southbound offramp and Ngauranga Interchange.

The highway’s southbound lanes will be closed for two nights – Sunday, 2 February and Monday, 3 February, between 9 pm and 4:30 am.

Roxanne Hilliard, Wellington Transport Alliance Manager, says the middle lane of the highway is to be resurfaced.

“This is a steep section of the highway, where vehicles descend towards Wellington. It is not possible to safely keep other lanes open while we carry out work, so a full directional closure is needed to complete this work.”

“The closure will let us finish this work faster and, because it will be done at night when fewer vehicles are on the road, there will be less impact on drivers,” Ms Hilliard says.

A local detour will be available, and Ms Hilliard says it is important they are followed correctly.

“Light vehicles will be able to take the Johnsonville southbound offramp and detour to the city via Johnsonville, Khandallah, and the Ngaio Gorge. If you are travelling to the Hutt from SH1 you will need to take the SH58 detour via Transmission Gully.”“However, this route is not suitable for heavy vehicles because of a height restriction on the Johnsonville underpass. They must use State Highway 58 to Haywards Hill and State Highway2 Hutt Valley to get to the city. These detours are longer, so drivers should allow for extra travel time,” Ms Hilliard says.

She says while the two-night closure and detours will cause delays for drivers, it is essential the work is done. It is about keeping a critical and heavily used transport link safe and resilient for all road users,” Ms Hilliard says.

Works Schedule and Detour Routes:

  • Sunday, 2 February and Monday, 3 February. 9 pm – 4:30 am
  • Southbound closure SH1 Ngauranga Gorge between Johnsonville southbound offramp and Ngauranga Interchange.
  • Travelling to the Hutt from SH1, take the SH58 detour via TG.
  • Light vehicles detour via Johnsonville southbound offramp, Middleton Road, Johnsonville, Khandallah, and Ngaio Gorge. This route is not suitable for heavy vehicles.
  • Heavy vehicles must detour via SH58 Haywards and SH2 Hutt Valley.

“Feisty” injured Whanganui kiwi returns home

Date:  21 January 2025

The bird was struck between Whanganui and Raetihi on 20 November last year.

The driver reported the incident to the Department of Conservation and transported the injured bird to Wildbase Hospital, Tāwharau Ora Massey University where the young male was found to have respiratory issues and a fractured pelvis.

DOC Biodiversity Ranger Kelly Brider says the bird was alert and feisty throughout his recovery.

“We think that liveliness helped him to power through his rehabilitation, he was well and truly ready to go home!”

“We want to acknowledge the driver for doing the right thing, even going above and beyond to transport the kiwi to safety herself.

“We are also grateful for the continued work of Wildbase Hospital staff caring for and rehabilitating our special species.”

The kiwi, gifted the name ‘Tairei’ by members of hapū Whaikiterangi, was released on 10 January away from the road in the area he was found, with multiple generations of whānau present.

Kuia Karina Williams says the name is linked to the land.

“We gifted him the whānau name Tairei, which goes back to our great, great grandfather, I know our tūpuna will watch over him.”

Kelly says the bird was found near a wetland and retired farmland – bushy parts of  Ātihau Whanganui Incorporation land.

“They have predator control in some areas and are increasing their efforts. It all works toward creating a safe space for kiwi to thrive.”

Brown kiwi are listed as Not Threatened – Conservation Dependent, with numbers in Whanganui National Park and surrounding areas projected to grow by 1000 in the next few years.

“This success is thanks to landscape-scale predator control and community trapping programmes, along with increasing efforts by private landowners,” says Kelly.

“Tairei is a reminder that we are lucky to share this part of Aotearoa with these special birds and to take care and watch out for kiwi when driving.”

Anyone coming across an injured or killed kiwi should report it to 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468).

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 January 2025 – A well-established international logistics solutions provider, CN Logistics International Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”, stock code: 2130) is pleased to announce the launch of regular international charter flights between Ezhou, Hubei Province, China and Milan, Italy on 19 January. This service provides enhanced logistics solutions for import-export businesses between the two regions, marking another milestone for CN Express‘ air charter transport solutions.

The first flight of the “Ezhou-Milan” route was operated by a Boeing 767 freighter operated by Georgian Gio Air. Mr. Lau Shek Yau, Founder, Chairman and Executive Director of CN Logistics and Cargo Service Group, Mr. Fang Meng, Deputy General Manager of Wuhan Financial Holdings, General Manager and Vice Chairman of Changjiang River International Trade and Mr. You Jun, Chairman of Huahu Supply Chain attended the inaugural ceremony at Ezhou Huahu International Airport on January 19.

The newly launched charter service is a crucial part of the strategic partnership with Wuhan Financial Holdings Changmao Group Limited (“Wuhan Financial Holdings”) and Hubei International Logistics Airport Limited (“Hubei International Logistics”). According to the agreement, the Group will utilize its airfreight forwarding network to provide 2 to 3 charter flights between Ezhou and Milan per week to prominent Chinese eCommerce platforms and various large enterprises, covering multi-sectors including eCommerce, high-tech electronic products, industrial products, high-end and affordable luxury clothing and red wine. This aims to foster bilateral trade while helping business in expanding overseas operation by reducing costs and improving efficiency. Building upon the “Ezhou-Milan” route, the Group and the Partners plan to gradually extend services coverage to other European countries and the Middle East and African regions, with long-term plans to establish joint warehouses in these regions to facilitate the exchange of quality products with Ezhou.

Mr. Lau Shek Yau, Chairman and Executive Director of CN Logistics, said “We are honored to collaborate with Wuhan Financial Holdings and Hubei International Logistics to promote Ezhou’s external trade exchanges and build a business ecosystem that benefits the society across multiple industries and regions. Bolstered by its strategic location, Ezhou has become the hub for China’s eCommerce and logistics industries. On the grand day of departure, we witnessed the efficient processing capabilities of Ezhou Huahu Airport, which completed all aspects of customs clearance, cargo loading, and takeoff in a short time. We believe launching the Milan route is just the first step. With the support of our Partners, CN Logistics will launch more routes connecting Ezhou with other regions, particularly the Middle East and Africa. This will enable the Group to achieve synergies with our parent company providing customers with competitive and efficient logistics solutions while rapidly expanding our business presence in the Middle East and African regions.”

A summer of work to complete much-needed maintenance on State Highway 29 Kaimai Range will see night closures over 2 weeks next month, from Sunday 9 February to the morning of Friday 14 February (5 nights) and from Sunday 16 February to the morning of Friday 21 February (5 nights), between 8pm and 4.30am each night.

The closures are needed to undertake asphalt renewals and other routine maintenance activities such as clearing drains, sign maintenance and road marking. Please note the previously advised SH29 closure was for 1 week, an extra week has been added to complete additional maintenance while the road is closed, while also allowing for the possibility of bad weather. If the work is completed before the full two weeks is up, then the road will reopen early.

During the day SH29 will be open but may be under a temporary speed restriction.

This is one of a number of night closures for SH29 for vital maintenance work on this busy route linking Waikato with the Bay of Plenty. Due to the nature of the road over the Kaimai Range, plus the heavy traffic volumes due to its importance as part of the ‘Golden Triangle’, full closures are the most efficient and effective way to get important maintenance work done,

More information about the work happening on SH29 over the summer:

Further closures are planned for April, the exact dates will be shared when they have been confirmed.

The detours for this closure are significant and add considerable time to journeys. People are encouraged to check the NZTA Journey Planner and allow extra time for their journey, or if possible, delay travel over SH29 on these nights.   

Journey Planner(external link)

The detour routes are:

  • South: SH28, SH5, SH30, SH33, SH2 via Rotorua  
  • North: SH24, SH27, SH26, SH2 via Karangahake Gorge  

The closure points on the western (Waikato) side are at the SH29/24 and SH29/28 intersections and on the eastern (BOP) side at the SH29/Cambridge Road intersection. Emergency services will have access at all times, and residents can access their property from the relevant side of the closure. 

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience.
