Resurfacing work next month is expected to mean short delays for road users at a Central Otago intersection of two state highways.

Work is set to begin on Monday 9 February where State Highways 8 and 8B meet, alongside the Clutha River / Mata-Au, near Dead Mans Point. It will start with milling/removal of the existing asphalt surface and then move to laying new asphalt. 

The work is scheduled to happen daily from 9pm to 6am, Sundays to Thursdays, and during these times it will mean a single lane closure and road users being asked to stop on demand. Work is expected to continue through until Friday 20 February.

This work is weather-dependent and if the schedule has to change, notification will be provided.

We thank people in advance for their patience and understanding as we complete this work to upgrade this intersection for all those who use it.
