Upcoming:

Overnight road closure - SH6 Kawarau Gorge, just north of Goldfield Mining Centre

Sunday - Thursday, 9pm - 6 am, beginning Sunday 31st August, and ending Thursday 23rd October.

There will be no work or closures during daytime hours, or in the periods from Friday 6am through to Sunday 9pm.

During the nightly periods of closure, the highway will open every hour, on the hour, and any waiting traffic will be piloted through a single lane at the site.

Motorists should prepare for delays of up to an hour when travelling through the area during these closures.

Oversize vehicles or loads will be accommodated as long as they adhere to their permit requirements of notification, so that the crew can coordinate with the operator and assist them through the narrow corridor.

The work being carried out by Aspiring Highways, on behalf of New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, is to remediate the underslip at Scrubby Corner. This requires the pinning back, strengthening and reinforcing of the current crib retaining wall. This will be achieved by boring anchors through the existing retaining wall into rock and structurally connecting those anchors into the existing crib wall.
