Khyber Pass on-ramp closed

Transit New Zealand advises that the Khyber Pass on-ramp will be closed to traffic from 7am Sunday 8 June until 6 am Monday 9 June. During this time motorists will not be able to use the on-ramp to access the Southern Motorway.

The closure is required to allow essential drainage works on the on-ramp. From Monday 9 June, the ongoing programme of night closures of the on-ramp will resume. The night closures are for widening works and will occur intermittently until March 2004.

The work is part of Stage 1 (Khyber Pass to Gillies Ave) of the Central Motorway Junction upgrading project which, when completed, will improve efficiency, safety and access.

Motorists are requested to use alternative on-ramps during the closure. In case of inclement weather the closure will take place on the following weekend Sunday 18 June. For more information on the project, visit the project information centre at the corner of Stanley Street & Alten Road, phone 0800 ToFreeflow (0800 863 733) or visit the Transit website http://www.transit.govt.nz.
