State Highway 1 Blenheim roundabout resurfacing
Roads
The State Highway 1/State Highway 6 Nelson Street roundabout will be the first to be resurfaced with night works planned from Sunday, 2 February until Tuesday, 4 February, between 7.00 pm and 5.00 am.
During this time the roundabout will be closed to all traffic to allow for asphalting work to be carried out and a local road detour will be in place.
Contractors will then carry out night works on the State Highway 1 Main Street roundabout from Sunday, 9 February, until Wednesday, 12 February, between 7.00 pm and 5.00 am.
During this time the roundabout will be closed to all traffic to allow asphalting work to be completed and the same local detour route will be in place.
A local road detour will be in place for all traffic in both directions via Alabama Road, Battys Road, Nelson Street, Hutcheson Street and Lansdowne Street. This detour is expected to add up to 10 minutes to travel time.
Once asphalting work is complete, road markings will be reinstated under night works with stop/go controls and a 30 km/h speed limit.
