Motorway closures as part of CMJ upgrade

Work on Stage 2 of Transit New Zealand’s Central Motorway Junction project is continuing.

Temporary traffic safety barriers are already in place along the edge of the Northwestern Motorway (SH16) connection to the Port (port bound), as part of the CMJ Stage 1 works. These barriers will be extended further west to allow for CMJ Stage 2 works.

Closures:
The Northwestern Motorway to Port (SH16) link will be closed between 10.00pm and 5.00am on the nights of Monday 8 March and Tuesday 9 March 2004.

The Northwestern Motorway (SH16) to Southern Motorway (SH1) link will also be closed between 10.00pm and 5.00am on the night of Monday 8 March 2004.

Motorists travelling to the Port or Southern Motorway during these times are advised to follow the detours which will be fully sign-posted while the motorway closures are in place.

The closures are to allow for new lane markings, signage and the new temporary barriers.

Motorists are advised to take extra care through the area as they adjust to the changes.

Transit apologises for any inconvenience and thanks motorists for their co-operation.

The work is part of Stage 2 of Transit’s Central Motorway Junction upgrade project, which covers the section of motorway between Wellington Street and Symonds Street on the Southern Motorway (SH1) and between Symonds St and Bond Street on the Northwestern Motorway (SH16), and is scheduled for completion in 2006.

More information about the work can be obtained by phoning 0800 CMJ Core (0800 265 2673) or by visiting www.transit.govt.nz/cmj

Gordon Campbell: On the Sony cyber attack

Given the layers of meta-irony involved, the saga of the Sony cyber attack seemed at the outset more like a snarky European art film than a popcorn entry at the multiplex.

Yet now with (a) President Barack Obama weighing in on the side of artistic freedom and calling for the US to make a ‘proportionate response’quickly followed by (b) North Korea’s entire Internet service going down, and with both these events being followed by (c) Sony deciding to backtrack and release The Interview film that had made it a target for the dastardly North Koreans in the first place, then ay caramba…the whole world will now be watching how this affair pans out.
