Remutaka Hill night road closure Sunday 10th October
There's an upcoming overnight closure of Remutaka Hill for essential work.
State Highway 2 (SH2) over the Remutaka Hill will be closed for one night from 9pm Sunday 10 October to 4am Monday 11 October to allow crews to safely complete essential work. One to note especially as this falls within the School Holidays.
There is also a five-night closure of the road coming up, from 9pm Sunday 7 November to 4am Friday 12 November. For people who know they need to travel during these nights, they should get in touch to book the escort service.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
