SH1 BRYNDERWYN HILLS RESURFACING – PLANNED SUPER WEEKEND CLOSURES

Final resurfacing works on SH1 over the Brynderwyn Hills are planned for November 2025. These planned 4 day super weekend closures are to complete the resurfacing works needed so the road can reopen at 80km/h with passing lanes in time for summer.

To safely complete this work, State Highway 1 will be CLOSED between Brynderwyn and Waipu (in both directions), subject to weather and other factors, from:

• Thursday 13 November morning(12:01am) to Sunday 16 November midnight (11:59pm)

• Thursday 20 November morning (12:01am) to Sunday 23 November midnight (11:59pm)

During these closure periods three alternative scenic routes are available:

• Light Vehicles via either Mangawhai (using Cove Rd between Kaiwaka & Waipu, not suitable for trucks with trailer units) or via Paparoa and Mangapai (using Paparoa Oakleigh Rd between Brynderwyn & Oakleigh, HPMV's (High Productivity Motor Vehicles) are not permitted on this route).

• The preferred detour for Heavy Vehicles is using SH12 & SH14 via Dargaville (HPMV's must use this route).

The detour for cars only adds about 20 minutes to your journey.
