SH1 Transmission Gully: Ongoing Summer Maintenance
SH1 Transmission Gully: Ongoing Summer Maintenance
Extensive summer maintenance on SH1 Transmission Gully includes resurfacing, drainage, and pavement reconstruction to prepare for winter. Night-time closures and detours via SH59, along with lane closures and reduced speed limits, are causing peak-time delays—so consider SH59 as an alternative route.
January works focus on chip sealing southbound lanes, then northbound, with pavement upgrades near Battle Hill, Rainbow Bridge, and Waitangirua. Road users should observe posted speed limits to ensure safety and prevent vehicle damage from loose chips. Maintenance is expected to continue until mid-February, weather permitting—check schedules and plan for extra travel time.
