Aucklanders warned about upcoming wide-ranging motorway closures

Aucklanders are warned to be prepared for a number of road closures this week as Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency undertakes several motorway improvements.

There are a wide range of closures, including State Highway 1 northbound between Greenlane and Grafton Rd and the State Highway 1 off-ramp to Orewa.

All road closures are subject to weather conditions and other factors and may be cancelled or postponed at late notice.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says the closures from April 4 to 10 will start at 9pm and finish at 5am, unless otherwise stated.

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