Upcoming work:

SH1 Bluff Highway drainage work - 3km stretch of SH1 Bluff highway from just south of Avon Road to just south of Blythe Street – beginning August 11th for about two weeks

This site is programmed for a renewal this construction season. The first stage is the drainage and flanking of the highway shoulders to prepare for the road renewal later in the year. The site will be managed by temporary traffic lights and the 3km stretch will be split into sections of around 500m at a time, to reduce the impact and delays to traffic. We anticipate delay times of approximately 5 minutes at the site
