NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi said in a statement yesterday the stretch of southbound Cumberland St/SH1 between the Gordon St and Andersons Bay Rd intersections would be affected.
Parts of the road surface will be dug up and reinstated with new asphalt.
The closures will be in effect for up to 10 nights, closing at 7.30pm and reopening at 6am the following day, from Sunday to Thursday.
The first closure is due to take place from 7.30pm this Sunday.
A detour will be available for light vehicles via Jervois St, Princes St, King Edward St, Hillside Rd and Andersons Bay Rd.
For heavy vehicles, it will be via the Jetty St overbridge, Wharf St, Strathallan St and Andersons Bay Rd.
Those operating overweight and over-dimension vehicles should refer to their permit.
Uneven surfaces, temporary speed restrictions and side-road closures will be in place throughout the duration of the work.
Parking within the work site is prohibited, except where temporary access has been provided.
Access to businesses will continue but sometimes driveway access may be restricted.
The BP service station in Cumberland St can be accessed as normal, but customers exiting the service station will be directed to Wolseley St.
NZTA said it would minimise the impact on nearby residents and businesses, as well as the travelling public.
However, there would be some level of noise, in addition to the traffic disruption.
The agency thanked people in advance for their patience.
Weather conditions and completion requirements might delay the start and duration of the work, the statement said. — Allied Media
