Working on repairs to a rail crossing on State Highway 1 in Hornby will create detours for north and southbound drivers for two consecutive weekends.
KiwiRail is repairing its rail crossing at Carmen Road, between Main South Road and Waterloo Road, in Hornby.
The work starts at 7 pm, July 22, running through to 6 am Monday morning at the latest.
The second weekend’s work runs from Friday night, July 29, to Monday, August 1.
Electronic signs have been warning drivers of the weekend detours for several days.
Drivers can still get into The Hub Hornby and all the shops in the area as usual, but the north and southbound exits and entries via Carmen Road will close over the two weekends.
The detour route for northbound traffic (towards the airport) which would usually take Carmen Road off Main South Road is in place before the Hub Hornby, i.e., Parker St, Gilberthorpes Road, Buchanans Road.
Southbound drivers on Carmen Road will be detoured onto Waterloo Road then Parker St.
Drivers might also like to use Pound Road and Buchanans Road as detours says the New Zealand Transport Agency.
