Summer season of Northland road resurfacing starts at Oakleigh on SH1
The NZ Transport Agency advises motorists that State Highway 1 at Oakleigh, south of Whangarei, will be closed at night or reduced to one lane to allow road repairs and re-sealing. The road will be closed to all traffic for 2 nights on Sunday 28 October and Monday 29 October at night from 9pm to 5am.
The roadworks are happening just south of the Mangapai Road intersection in Oakleigh on SH1. The works will involve ripping up about 200 metres of road surface and replacing it with new aggregate and seal.
A detour will be in place for south-bound traffic via Mangapai Road, Paparoa Road, Paparoa-Oakleigh Road, and SH12 back to SH1 (see attached map). The detour is the same in reverse for north-bound traffic and will add another 30 minutes to the journey time. EV stations are available at Mangawhai and Whangarei details below.
The recommended detour route when SH1 at Oakleigh is closed overnight on Sunday and Monday. Please plan ahead and allow an extra 30 minutes for your journey.
