SH1 WARKWORTH-WELLSFORD - OVERNIGHT CLOSURES - NOV/DEC

State Highway 1 between Warkworth and Wellsford will be closed to all traffic for 10 nights while further resurfacing is undertaken in the Dome Valley area and NX2 Northern Connection work continues (SH1 closed between Hudson Rd and Wayby Valley Rd). Closures will be in place from 8pm to 5am each night for an initial 5 nights, Sun 27 November – Thu 01 December, then followed by 5 further nights, Sun 04 December – Thu 08 December, with no closures occurring on Friday or Saturday nights.

During closures a detour will be in place using Woodcocks Rd, West Coast Rd, and SH16 (Kaipara Coast Hwy and Port Albert Rd) between Warkworth and Wellsford. Please plan ahead as this detour may add up to 40 minutes travel time to your journey.

In addition NX2 work at the Southern Connection in the Puhoi area will require closures on the Northern Mwy (northbound between Silverdale and Puhoi, southbound between Puhoi and Orewa) on all of the same 10 nights above, between 10pm and 5am each night. Travel between Silverdale and Warkworth will be possible with a local detour via Hibiscus Coast Hwy and SH1 between Puhoi and Warkworth.

Through traffic (especially heavy vehicles) should use SH16 entirely between Auckland Central and Wellsford, or exit the Northern Mwy at Silverdale and use Kahikatea Flats Rd to SH16 to continue north. Traffic Map info: http://spr.ly/6180MNkBC
