Update from NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi - Wellington: State Highway 2 reopen through Carterton ahead of the Matariki Holiday weekend.

"Wet weather means the final day of work, which would have seen the final road surface laid, can’t be completed this week.

"Instead, the final day of works will be scheduled once the weather improves. NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi - Wellington will provide a further update when a date is confirmed.

"In the interim, State Highway 2/High Street will be open to all traffic in both directions.

"Because the road surface in the southbound lane is unfinished, the works site will have a temporary speed limit of 30 km/h.

"Previously, vehicles couldn’t drive this section of road because it had been excavated to a depth of approximately 360 mm. Now that the road has been mostly built up, it is driveable.

"To ensure the road and vehicles are not damaged, drivers must obey the 30 km/h speed limit.

"NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Wellington Transport Alliance deeply appreciate the understanding and patience of all drivers, residents, and businesses in Carterton and surrounding areas as we near the completion of this essential state highway maintenance project." ... See MoreSee Less
