You will have noticed the significant amount of work that the surfacing team have already completed on highways including Dee St, Tay St and on Clyde St in Invercargill. 

The team have now completed resurfacing the north-bound lanes of Clyde St between Bond St and Troopers roundabout, and have finished most of the southbound lanes between Tweed St and Bond St. 

The team have been working evenings however due to recent asphalt supply issues; they have no choice but to complete the remaining work during the days with southbound closures in place. Following this work, the Tweed St roundabout will be closed for resurfacing.

The planned programme is:

Tuesday 8th April, 9am – 9pm

Southbound lanes of Clyde St will be closed between Troopers Roundabout/Tay St and Tweed St roundabout. Northbound lanes open.

Wood, Forth, Tyne and Eye Streets will be closed to through traffic – they will only be open for business access. 

Wednesday 9th April, 9am – 9pm

Southbound lanes of Clyde St will be closed between Troopers Roundabout/Tay St and Tweed St roundabout. Northbound lanes open.

Wood, Forth, Tyne and Eye Streets will be closed to through traffic – they will only be open for business access.
