Night-time lane closures will be in place on State Highway 1 (SH1) East Tamaki Road overbridge (local road) from Sunday 30 November to Wednesday 3 December between 10pm and 5am for replacement of a bridge joint on the eastbound lanes of the overbridge.

While the team are working there will be a full eastbound closure (towards Bairds Road) on the overbridge, and lane restrictions westbound.

The following detours will be in place to direct traffic:

• Traffic travelling eastbound across the overbridge will be detoured onto SH1 northbound on-ramp and exit at Highbrook Drive, where they will be directed to SH1 Highbrook Drive southbound on-ramp. From here they can travel south on SH1 to East Tamaki Road.
• Traffic north on SH1 will not be able to exit at East Tamaki Road. Please use the next available off-ramp at Highbrook Drive.

Nearby properties will experience increased noise levels as the team will need to cut into the road surface, remove and replace the bridge joint and reinstate the road surface.

The bridge joint has been closely monitored and there is no risk to safety at this stage. The replacement has been scheduled to ensure that the road remains safe for all users. There is no risk to road users on SH1 while the work is underway.

This work is weather dependent and may change from advertised dates. Please check the NZTA Journey planner for real-time updates before you travel.
