SH1 South to SH16 Eastbound Link Closed Tonight

The NZ Transport Agency advises drivers that the Southern Motorway link for drivers travelling south, wanting to exit to SH16 East, heading to the Port, will be closed tonight (Tuesday 21st August) for emergency bridge drainage work.

The link closure will be in place tonight between 11pm and 5am, and drivers are asked to follow the signposted detour in place via St Lukes to SH16 Eastbound during this time.

The NZTA says drivers should use the link with care until repairs are completed.

The NZ Transport Agency works to create transport solutions for all New Zealanders – from helping new drivers earn their licences, to leading safety campaigns to investing in public transport, state highways and local roads. Follow us on twitter @nzta_news.
