Road users and residents need to be ready for night works and road closures as road crews carry out maintenance work on State Highway 58, Paremata Road early next month.

Two night-time closures are planned for the highway on Sunday, 5 July and Monday, 6 July. They will run between 9 pm and 4.30 am each night.

The highway will be closed between Paremata and Postgate Drive, with local road detours in place (see map below).

Road crews will be clearing drains and channels to reduce the risk of surface flooding, removing slip debris and graffiti, and replacing manhole covers. 

Because of the work required and the restricted space available, a full road closure is needed. This also allows contractors to complete the work more quickly and safely.

Traffic management will be set up from 8 pm and drivers can expect travel delays while this is underway.

Local road detours will be available for all traffic. Residents will retain access to their properties during the closures.

NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Wellington Transport Alliance understand these works are disruptive and that detours do add to travel times. However, regular maintenance like this is critical for keeping an important state highway route resilient and reliable for the public.

Road users and residents are urged to plan ahead for these works. Please allow extra time for your journeys while the closures and detours are in place.

These works may be affected by bad weather, and schedules may change at short notice. Divers are encouraged to check road conditions before they travel
