New dates and times for these works have now been confirmed. Work crews will resume replacing median barriers near the State Highway 2 Petone Overbridge on Monday, 3 June.

This work will be ongoing in two separate phases over the next two weeks.

The median barrier improvements will require a full closure of State Highway 2 for northbound traffic on Monday to Thursday nights next week.

This will be followed by a full southbound closure on Sunday to Thursday nights of the following week (9 – 13 June).

Closures have been timed to start later on Thursday nights to accommodate late night shopping  at Queensgate Mall in Lower Hutt

Local road detours through Lower Hutt will be available and drivers must allow extra time for their travel while the closures are in place. 

NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Wellington Transport Alliance thank drivers for their patience and cooperation while this critical state highway safety work is completed.
