The Northern Gateway toll road between the Silverdale interchange and Puhoi is closing in both directions next week for essential maintenance work.
The closure will affect the Johnstone Hill tunnels and toll road in both directions on the nights of Sunday, October 1, and Monday, October 2, 2017.
The maintenance work will be carried out between the hours of 9.00pm and 5.00am, when there are lower traffic volumes minimise disruption to road users.
Motorists are asked to follow the signposted detour routes by using the Hibiscus Coast Highway between Puhoi and the Silverdale interchange. This detour will add approximately 15minutes to journeys.
A planned closure earlier this month was postponed due to poor weather and this Sunday’s work remains weather dependent.
This work is part of the maintenance programme to ensure the keeping of the Johnstone’s Hill tunnels, and the motorway in a safe and resilient condition for all road users.
The NZ Transport Agency apologises for any inconvenience and thanks motorists for their patience during the works.
