The super weekend of resurfacing planned for SH2 Takitimu Drive has been postponed due to the forecasted weather and will no longer go ahead this weekend. New dates to be advised.

This updates the bulletin below.

9 February

A super weekend of road resurfacing on State Highway 2 (SH2) Takitimu Drive southbound, between the Chapel Street on-ramp and the Elizabeth Street roundabout, will begin at 6pm on Friday 13 February and continue through to 5am on Monday 16 February.  

Both southbound lanes will be closed overnight, with a single lane open during the day, so our crews can work continuously, day and night, to complete the project as efficiently and safely as possible.

Crews will be removing the existing asphalt road surface and then replace it layer by layer with a new one, noise and vibration can be associated with this type of work. 

Night closures (6pm–6am): SH2 will be closed southbound from the Chapel Street onramp to the Elizabeth Street roundabout. The detour route is via Chapel Street, Cameron Road, Elizabeth Street, and back onto SH2 at the roundabout and vice versa. 

Daytime traffic (6am–6pm): One southbound lane will remain open, with a reduced speed limit in place through the worksite. Due to the reduced width of the lane, delays are to be expected. 

NZTA thanks motorists for their patience while this important work takes place.
