Auckland motorway closures: Waterview Tunnel closure part of Auckland's upcoming mass motorway works

A southbound closure of Auckland's Waterview Tunnel is just one of a slew of motorway closures soon to affect the city.

As part of its usual overnight road closures to undertake maintenance across Auckland, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency warns locals to be prepared in case any of their work affects people's journeys.

Unless otherwise stated, closures from April 11 to 17 begin at 9pm and finish at 5am.

"Please note that all overnight motorway closures are subject to weather and other factors and may be cancelled or postponed at late notice," NZTA says.

"To check for the most current overnight closure information please visit our website before you go each day."

Anyone travelling on the affected routes is asked to follow the signposted detours.
