Travel Delays - Auckland Anniversary Weekend

Newmarket Viaduct motorway closure 28-30 January

Auckland’s Newmarket Viaduct will be closed during Auckland’s Anniversary Weekend so that northbound motorway traffic can be moved onto the newly completed portion of SH1. So plan your journey before you head to the 2012 V 4 & Rotary Nationals.

Major work will be taking place and parts of the motorway will be closed at the Bombay Hills in the south, as well as the Auckland Harbour Bridge, Victoria Park Tunnel and Newmarket Viaduct in the central city. The work over summer takes place until February. Where possible it has been timed for the evenings, weekends and holidays when traffic is lightest. Accelerating this essential work now will deliver widespread benefits helping to improve safety, congestion and travel times for all drivers.
