Kia ora neighbour,
We are writing to let you know about an upcoming full motorway closure on State Highway 1 (SH1) from
Silverdale to Pūhoi.
Details of the upcoming works
On Sunday 12 June, SH1 will be closed between Silverdale and Pūhoi from 9:00pm – 5am, as we form
the second stage of the new road layout. A detour will be in place from Silverdale via Hibiscus Coast
Highway.
From Monday 13 June 2022, northbound and southbound SH1 traffic will join Hibiscus Coast Highway
traffic on the new motorway alignment. Traffic heading north will exit from the Johnstone Hill Tunnels
and seamlessly merge onto the viaduct. SH1 traffic heading south towards the tunnels will merge onto
the new on-ramp, just after Pūhoi Road (See map of new layout below).
Should any of the above work be delayed due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, they will be
rescheduled to the next available night.
What this means for you
You may experience longer travel times while this work takes place, we advise planning ahead by
allowing extra travel time especially during the weekend and public holidays. To help plan for peak time
travel, visit the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency journey planner at https://www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz

Kia ora Neighbour,

We are writing to let you know that in late May we will move to stage four of the Southern Connection works. The Southern Connection is where State Highway 1 (SH1) north of the Johnstone Hill Tunnels, will eventually connect to the new safer, more reliable and resilient motorway.

Details of the upcoming works

On Sunday 22 May, SH1 northbound lanes will be closed between Silverdale and Pūhoi from 9:00pm – 5am as we form the next stage of the new road layout. A detour will be in place from Silverdale via Hibiscus Coast Highway.   From Monday 23 May 2022, northbound Hibiscus Coast Highway (HCH) traffic will merge onto a small section of the new motorway, travel across Arawhiti ki Ōkahu (viaduct) and exit at the new Pūhoi off-ramp onto Pūhoi Road. This will provide our crews with a protected working area while they complete the next phase of work.

On Sunday 12 June, SH1 will be closed between Silverdale and Pūhoi from 9:00pm – 5am as we form the second stage of the new road layout. A detour will be in place from Silverdale via Hibiscus Coast Highway.  From Monday 13 June 2022, northbound and southbound SH1 traffic will join HCH traffic on the new motorway alignment. Traffic heading north will exit from the Johnstone Hill Tunnels and seamlessly merge onto the viaduct. SH1 traffic heading south towards the tunnels will merge onto the new on-ramp, just after Pūhoi Road.

Traffic will remain in one lane in each direction and motorists will not be able to drive on the Pūhoi viaduct (Arawhiti ki Pūhoi) until the rest of the 18.5 km motorway opens. Should any of the above work be delayed due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, it will be rescheduled to the next available night. (maps of new layout attached)

If you have queries about these works or the Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth project, please contact us on 0508 P2WK INFO (0508 7295 4636) or at info@nx2group.com.

Dear Neighbour, 

To meet the project’s construction targets and minimise longer term disruption to the community, it is important that we utilise our time and resources wisely. This includes making the most of the available fine weather when we have it. To do this the pavements team are planning to work extended hours (up to 10pm) in some areas of the project on Monday to Fridays.

We will be working extended hours in designated areas on the alignment between Johnstones Hill Tunnel and Moir Hill Bridge. Work will continue periodically (as and when the weather allows)  until 10pm, in April 2021.  You may notice some noise during these works, however the project team will actively monitor this and every effort will be made to minimise disruptions.

Additionally, work on the alignment will continue over the easter holiday period in certain areas, this will allow us to make to the most of the predicted fine weather. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

The full list of upcoming works is at Latest Road Closures For Motorway Related Works Update for Puhoi

The Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth structures team will be installing services under Arawhiti ki Pūhoi viaduct across Pūhoi Road. A small section of Pūhoi Road will be closed for five nights, fromSunday 21 March to Thursday 25 March 2021, between 9.30pm to 4am. Signposted detours and traffic management will be in place. Please note the dates are weather dependent and may be postponed if necessary.

We will keep you updated if anything changes or the weather allows the road to stay open. The traffic management team may set up road cones and signage from 7pm, but Pūhoi Road will not be closed until 9.30pm. You will still be able to travel through the area until this time.

During the Pūhoi Road closure, signposted detours will be in place. As the detours will add a considerable amount of time to your journey, we encourage you to plan your travel for outside the closure hours, where possible. A map of the detours and road closure location isattached.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused during the closure and thank you for your understanding while we complete this important work.

Warm regards
