Major road closure in Hutt Valley this weekend

Media Release: 16 January 2015
Drivers warned of major road closure in Hutt Valley
The AA is advising drivers in the Hutt Valley to be aware of a major road closure this weekend.

The Eastern Hutt Road is scheduled to be closed in both directions from 8pm on Saturday 17 January until 6am Monday 19 January. This is to allow repair work to the Silverstream rail bridge.

The road is currently down to one lane but once the work is completed it will be able to re-open to two lanes as normal.

“The Eastern Hutt Road is used by a lot of people, so its closure is likely to cause some disruption this weekend,” says AA Wellington District Vice Chairman Geordie Cassin.

“All drivers in that area need to know that the road is going to be closed so they can plan an alternative route and allow time to get to their destination safely.”

Some Hutt Valley train and bus services will also be affected by the work so train users should checkwww.tranzmetro.co.nz and bus users www.metlink.org.nz to get details of any changes.
