Authorities to close part of State Highway 58 in Wellington Region, New Zealand, 20:00 April 28-04:00 May 1 for planned construction work.
Event
The Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency plans to close the segment of State Highway 58 between state highways 1 and 2 in the Wellington Region 20:00 April 28-04:00 May 1. The purpose of the move is to facilitate the reconstruction of a section of the thoroughfare between Moonshine and Mount Cecil roads. Transportation officials advise motorists traveling between Hutt Valley and Porirua to use state highways 1 and 2 via Ngauranga. Authorities have further indicated repair works may be delayed due to inclement weather.
Lingering disruptions may occur after the maintenance period concludes. Nearby roads will likely experience increased traffic congestion, especially along state highways 1 and 2. Associated shipping delays may also occur.
Advice
Consider alternative driving routes to circumvent the construction area. Allow extra time to reach destinations due to increased traffic congestion and demand for alternative transportation.
