SH2 Remutaka Hill road users - lane closure for 2 weeks
Message from Capital Journeys:
A northbound passing lane south of the summit on SH2 Remutaka Hill will be closed day and night for 2 weeks while contractors retrieve the container, its items and the trailer from the recent fatal crash.
We anticipate the closure of one lane combined with a temporary 50km/h speed restriction both north and southbound in this area will be a minor inconvenience for most traffic.
However, road users should travel with caution through the area because of the visual distraction and likelihood of trucks entering and exiting a retrieval site at the northern end of the passing lane.
Day/night northbound passing lane closure and temporary speed restriction – dates and place
. Day and night starting 7pm Sunday night 21 November to 5pm Friday 3 December.
. The 200m northbound passing lane starts 1.7km south of the summit. RP SH2-931/1.7-1.5
. The left-hand northbound lane will be closed. Traffic will use the right-hand northbound lane.
. A 50km/h speed restriction will operate in both directions north and south.
What’s happening?
. Two retrieval sites will be established on flat land off-road to allow retrieval of items from the recent fatal crash while causing minimal disturbance to highway traffic.
. The passing lane closure will allow trucks to move in and out of the off-road retrieval site situated near its northern end.
. A second off-road retrieval site near the start of the passing lane will not have access to the road. All movements here will be via a track cut between the two sites.
What should drivers be aware of?
. Off-road retrieval activities may be a distraction to drivers.
. Site trucks will occasionally move in and out of the northern off-road retrieval site.
. Please be prepared to slow down as you approach the area.

Scamwatch: How to recognise, avoid and act against scams.
A scam or a fraud is any scheme designed to con you out of money or steal your personal information. If someone contacts you unexpectedly – whether over the phone, through the post, by email, on a website, in person or on social media – always consider the possibility that it may be a scam.
Scammers target lots of people, often for small amounts of money. They constantly evolve their approach making scams harder to spot. Most scams come from overseas, but they may pretend to be locally based — from a reputable company, bank, or government agency, or even from your friends on social media if your account has been hacked. It is very difficult to get your money back once it is sent overseas.
Scams hurt us all. You can protect yourself and others by learning how to spot scams, share what you see and report them.
