Closure SH1, Pohuehue Viaduct
The NZ Transport Agency will start work on permanent repairs to the road surface on State Highway 1 at Pohuehue Viaduct effective Thursday 09 November 2017 .
It’s the second stage of work to resurface the passing lanes across the viaduct.
The first stage involved improving drainage, along with some temporary surface repairs.
The full width of the road will now be resurfaced during the next three weeks. Most of the work will take place at night.
A 70km/h speed restriction is in place to protect the safety of workers as well as the new road surface which requires time to bed down.
The Transport Agency would like to thank drivers for their continued understanding and patience during this work.

Closure: SH1, Brynderwyn Maintenance
Drivers are being advised to allow more time for their travel from next weekend when the NZ Transport Agency will be closing State Highway 1 overnight on the Brynderwyn Hills in Northland for maintenance work over three nights.
Weather permitting the highway over the Brynderwyns will be closed in both directions from 6.45pm, and will re-open the next morning at 5am. The work will continue for three consecutive nights from Sunday – 5, 6 and 7 November.
Detours will be in place with traffic control staff providing guidance along the route. The Transport Agency recommends that drivers allow an extra 30 to 45 minutes for their journey.
Southbound traffic will be diverted through Waipu and Mangawhai, and northbound traffic will be diverted via Paparoa/Oakleigh. For electric vehicles charging stations are located at Kaiwaka and Whangarei.
The overnight closures are timed when traffic is light to minimise disruption.
