SH6 Whangamoa and Pelorus Bridge closures
Roads
This route will have three weeks of night closures from late-February until mid-March for road resurfacing and maintenance work.
The work will run from 23 February until 13 March. During this time State Highway 6 between Hira and Rai Valley will be closed from 8.00 pm to 5.30 am, Sunday to Thursday nights. No work will be done on Friday and Saturdays.
The road will be opened once per night at 12.30 am to let traffic through. The freight industry and other drivers will need to plan carefully to ensure they meet this schedule.
To take advantage of this closure and reduce future disruption on this corridor, the Pelorus Bridge on State Highway 6 between Havelock and Rai Valley will be closed on the night of 23 February from 8.00 pm until 5.30 am. The bridge will be open for traffic at 12.30 am.
