Posted: 02-Jul-2026 |


Pekatahi Bridge on State Highway 2 will close for 6 days, from 8:30am this Saturday (4 July) to midday Thursday 9 July. 

Traffic management will be set up before the closure time begins, so please follow any instructions from the traffic management crew while that’s happening.

The bridge will be closed 24 hours a day during this time, to improve the bridge surface and keep it safe and reliable.

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) thanks the community, freight operators and all road users for their patience while this essential work is carried out.
