Work\u00a0affecting major highways in Southland and Central Otago is under way and travellers are advised to prepare for delays.<\/p>\n
The Milford Road (State Highway 94) is being resealed over the next few days at three sites.<\/p>\n
These are at Sinclair Rd, in front of the Homer Tunnel operations building and between Hollyford Rd and Falls Creek bridge, the Milford Road Alliance advised today.<\/p>\n
Reduced speeds should be expected and\u00a0parking would not be possible along the highway in front of the tunnel building during this time.<\/p>\n
“Please follow signage and directions.”<\/p>\n
In Central Otago, resurfacing work is planned at the intersection of SH8 and 8B, alongside the\u00a0Clutha River\/ Mata-Au, near Dead Mans Point next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A spokesman for the New Zealand Transport Agency said the work would take place from February 9-20 and begin with the milling\/removal of the existing asphalt surface\u00a0and then move to laying new asphalt.<\/p>\n
The work was scheduled to happen daily from 9pm to 6am, Sundays to Thursdays.<\/p>\n
“During these times it will mean a single lane closure and road users being asked to stop on demand.”<\/p>\n
This work is weather-dependent and if the schedule had to change, notification would be provided.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We thank people in advance for their patience and understanding as we complete this work to upgrade this intersection for all those who use it.”<\/p>\n
