Works begin for airport roundabout
Following the successful build of the SH6 Bells and St Leonards roads roundabout, construction on the next phase of the project is about to start at SH6 and Tancred Crescent, the entry to Marlborough Airport. Residents and drivers can expect to see shoulder closures, lane shifts and stop/go traffic management.
This week, contractors began work to relocate services and build a temporary road for exiting the airport. The stop/go traffic management is in place to 21 June from 7am to 5pm. During the initial works, people should plan an extra 15 minutes for their journeys and during peak times there may be longer delays.
There will be further stop/go traffic management in place after 21 June and lane closures from mid-July, with more information confirmed in the coming weeks.
