Tākaka Hill road closures

Daytime and nighttime closures are planned for State Highway 60 Tākaka Hill next month, as the state highway summer maintenance season continues at the top of the South Island.

Chip sealing and asphalting works are planned – this is work carried out every year to ensure the highway’s road surface is maintained and kept in a good state of repair.

Daytime closures will be in place for chipsealing from Tuesday, 4 November to Friday, 7 November, between 9 am and 3:30 pm. During this time, the road will reopen once at 11:30 am to let traffic through.

They will be followed by three weeks of night closures for asphalt resurfacing and other maintenance works - from Sunday, 30 November to Friday, 19 December – between 6 pm and 7 am (Sunday – Thursday nights). There will be one 1 am opening every night to let queued traffic through.
