If you are a regular user of State Highway 2 Remutaka Hill, there are important dates you need to put in your diary.

Roxanne Hilliard, Wellington Alliance Manager, says dates are confirmed for planned night closures for the first half of 2025

“We are getting these dates out as early as possible, so people know exactly what is happening and when. The sooner people know, the sooner they can plan ahead.”

“If you travel over the Remutaka Hill regularly, please make sure these dates are in your diaries and calendars,” Ms Hilliard says.

State Highway 2, Remutaka Hill, planned night closures. January – June 2025 (Start 9 pm. Finish 4 am)

23 February - 5 nights closed.

9 March - 1 night closed.

6 April - 5 nights closed.

18 May - 1 night closed.

15 June - 1 night closed.

Ms Hilliard says the good news is there will be far fewer closures compared to the 31 that were scheduled for the same period last year.

“Road crews made the most of the nine weeks of night closures that were needed to fix an underslip on the Featherston side of the hill  between October and early December. As well as fixing the slip, they used the closure to complete a wide range of other maintenance jobs – road resurfacing, rock scaling, drainage works, clearing vegetation, and repairing and replacing signs.”
