The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi said in a statement crews were due to work through January to excavate parts of the road surface in different areas, and to reinstate it with new asphalt.
The work was set to begin on January 11 on the southbound lanes of SH1/Castle St, between St Andrew St and Stuart St. Closures are due to be in place for this section of Castle St for three nights starting on January 11, from 8pm to 6am each day.
Road users can also expect detours, side road closures, uneven surfaces and temporary speed limits in place through the course of this work.
From the following day, January 12, similar work on the road surface was due to take place on the southbound lanes of SH1/Dunedin Southern Motorway at Fairfield, with closures expected to take place over three nights, from 8pm to 6am each day.
A third piece of work will happen from January 18 on the southbound lanes of SH1/Dunedin Southern Motorway at Green Island and is expected to run for five nights of closures between 8pm and 6am each day.
In addition to the lane closures, the work on the motorway will also come with detours, uneven surfaces and temporary speed limits for the duration of the work.
NZTA and its contractors would be doing what they could to minimise disruption to the travelling public, residents and businesses, but some disruption was inevitable.
Weather conditions and completion requirements may delay the start and duration of work, and notification will be provided if changes happen. — Allied Media
