Road Reconstruction Work
From early June, road reconstruction work will begin on State Highway 2, High Street, Carterton until early July, weather permitting.
The works are between Rhodes Street and south of Andersons Line. Southbound vehicles will need to detour at Somerset Road, Carters Line and Park Road which adds a significant amount of time to journeys. Northbound traffic can travel through High Street with speed limits in place. We encourage you to plan ahead to avoid delays.
This section of the road is in poor condition so it’s important for the safety of everyone who uses the road that this work is undertaken. The works will be unavoidably disruptive for the Carterton community and SH2 users in the Wairarapa.
We appreciate that roadworks are inconvenient for neighbours, and thank the community in advance for their patience while we complete these major works.
