UPDATE - PICTON ELEVATION NZTA/Waka Kotahi TRAFFIC BULLETIN - NO ROAD SURFACING WORKS THIS WEEK

 

UPDATED: NZTA/Waka Kotahi Traffic Bulletin: NO ROAD  SURFACING WORKS THIS WEEK



Pre-Christmas road surfacing work planned – State Highway 1, Picton Elevation. (NO ROAD SURFACING WORKS THIS WEEK)



Traffic bulletin UPDATE 11:40am 20 December 2023


The stop/go originally planned for State Highway 1 Picton Elevation will no longer proceed before Christmas.

 

Drainage works have proceeded faster than expected, and a further site evaluation has been done.

 

As a result, it has been decided not to carry out surfacing works this week and to keep State Highway 1 open to two lanes through the Picton Elevation.

 

This ensures there will be minimal disruption to holiday traffic on this busy route in the lead-up to Christmas.


A moratorium on roadworks will be in place across the entire state highway network from 22 December to 7 January.

 

This ensures delays and disruptions on state highways are minimised as much as possible over the holidays. However, contractors will be on-call to attend emergency maintenance and safety works as required.


People travelling to and from Picton should’t expect any travel delays.
