Anzac Ave will be closed at the roundabout, which will be managed with traffic signals for all three days.
The highway surface between the roundabout and Ravensbourne Lookout is being upgraded by Waka Kotahi crews working double shifts night and day.
The site would be under temporary traffic lights, 24 hours a day from Friday evening, March 17, to Tuesday morning after Otago’s Anniversary holiday on Monday,” Waka Kotahi Otago journey manager Nicole Felts said.
Anzac Avenue would be closed at the roundabout and Parry St East will be closed at SH88.
“Drivers from Port Chalmers heading to Dunedin will be managed with Stop/Go at the Ravensbourne end of the site. When released, they will travel through the site, enter the roundabout and exit onto SH88 behind the stadium to continue towards the city. They will not be able to travel around the roundabout to the third exit onto Anzac Ave," Felts said.
“Traffic heading from Dunedin towards Port Chalmers will use SH88 behind the stadium, enter the roundabout at the temporary traffic lights and exit onto SH88 heading towards Ravensbourne and Port Chalmers. Anzac Avenue will be closed.
“Drivers on Parry St East will need to give way to traffic entering the roundabout from Port Chalmers (as per normal road rules) and then must exit the roundabout onto SH88 heading south towards Dunedin.
“Any drivers from Parry St East wanting to travel towards Port Chalmers will have a signed detour route via Ward St, which will bring them back onto SH88 to head towards Port Chalmers.”
Emergency services would be prioritised through the site as efficiently and safely as possible.
The work has been timed for this long Otago anniversary weekend to avoid times when there is other work under way on SH88. Limiting the roundabout’s exit and entry points will help keep wait times down.
There is likely to be work continuing on Tuesday, March 21 under this or a similar traffic management set-up but it will be limited to off peak hours (9am to 3pm).

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.
Internet is something we need these days for work, study, keeping in touch with loved ones or just to watch a movie! It's another bill to manage right?!

When you think weddings, you think pampering, gloss and fuss.
You probably don’t imagine a seven-hour slog uphill, sweat and nachos.

You probably don’t imagine a seven-hour slog uphill, sweat and nachos.
But that is exactly what one couple chose for their big day when they hiked to the remote Lake Wilson, off the Routeburn Track.
The Valley of the Trolls, complete with swampland and thick tussocks, doesn’t necessarily sound all that romantic either, but for bride Luana Schramme the tramp through the valley to her stunning wedding spot was “magical”.
Schramme, 27, and her husband Bernardo Araujo, 29, weren’t alone for their wilderness wedding – they had seven friends, a photographer and a celebrant join them on the 34km trip for the unusual ceremony.
