Overnight closures on State Highway 57 in November
SH57 will close between Queen Street East and Heatherlea East Road from 6pm to 6am, Sunday to Thursday nights, beginning Sunday 15 November. The closures are expected to continue for up to 4 weeks while road workers complete sections of an 800m temporary road for the Ōtaki to north of Levin Expressway project.

Detours will be available throughout the closures:

Light vehicles will detour via Queen Street East, Tavistock Road and Heatherlea East Road.
Northbound heavy vehicles should remain on SH1 at Kimberley Road.
Southbound heavy vehicles on SH57 at Shannon will be directed to SH1 via Foxton-Shannon Road.
Resident access will be maintained, and emergency services will have right of way. A temporary speed limit will remain in place during the day.

Once completed, the temporary road will allow construction of the southernmost roundabout for the new expressway. Traffic is expected to move onto the temporary road in December, when a new road layout will be introduced.

Friday night work may be needed if poor weather disrupts the programme. Please follow signs and check Journey Planner before travelling.
