Details
- Late last year we wrapped up stage two of the Dyers Pass Road safety improvements, and mentioned that we would come back this year to complete some minor repairs and maintenance.
- Starting on Monday 15 May 2023, we will be returning to undertake this tidy-up work. This will involve establishing a site with one-way access for traffic, under manual stop/go signals and a 30km/hr speed limit. This will be set up and packed down between 6am to7pm, Monday to Friday, and once a section is completed, the cones will be moved to the next location. Work at each site should take around 2 to 3 days, weather depending, with work expected to wrap up late-June.
- We will keep the road open for the duration of the works, and there will be no speed restrictions in place on the weekend or outside of the mentioned work hours.
- The work will include inspections and minor repairs and maintenance in the areas where we worked during stage one and two of the safety improvements, which is standard during the post-construction period.
- We’ve also timed the work to combine with maintenance activities along the route, such as tree trimming and road sweeping, so it can all be completed under one set of traffic management.
- We’ll be doing our best to minimise the disruption. If you’re planning to travel on Dyers Pass Road during this time, please factor in an extra 5 - 7 minutes plus the normal travel time. Alternatively, please use the Lyttelton tunnel or Gebbies Pass until the work is completed in late-June.
- Thanks for your patience while we complete this work.
