NZTA is planning overnight maintenance that will affect State Highway 1 southbound access from Millwater and Silverdale on Sunday, January 11.

The first closure is local.

The SH1 southbound on-ramp at Millwater, Silverdale will be closed between 9pm and 5am for road surface maintenance.

NZTA recommends using alternative on-ramps at Grand Drive or Dairy Flat.

A second set of closures follows later in the night further south.

The motorway will be fully closed southbound between Oteha Valley Road and Constellation Drive from 10pm to 5am for general maintenance.

These ramps will be closed: Oteha Valley Road southbound on-ramp, Greville Road southbound off-ramp, Greville Road southbound on-ramp, Constellation Drive southbound off-ramp, and the SH1 southbound to SH18 westbound link.

NZTA’s recommended detour is via Oteha Valley Road, Albany Expressway, Bush Road, Paul Matthews Road and Upper Harbour Highway.

The SH1 closure is happening alongside a SH18 westbound closure between Paul Matthews Road and Albany Highway, also from 10pm to 5am.

The Paul Matthews Road westbound on-ramp and Albany Highway westbound off-ramp will be closed.

The recommended detour is via Caribbean Drive, Goldfinch Rise and Albany Highway.

NZTA says the work is weather dependent.
