Upcoming closures on SH6 for essential roadworks
A 1.2km section of SH6 - from the Cromwell side of the Kawarau River Bridge towards Gibbston - will be closed for essential resurfacing work.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advised traffic will be stopped on the Queenstown side of the bridge and at Gibbston from 7pm to 5.30am Sunday, February 11 to Thursday, February 15.
The road will also be closed 7pm to 5.30am Sunday, Feburary 18 to Thursday, February 22.
During both sets of closures, the road will open to allow traffic through every 30 minutes between 7pm and 10pm, with additional openings at 12am and 3am.
The agency urged drivers to plan their journeys around the closures, with delays of up to three hours while the bridge is closed to traffic to allow contractors to complete these essential works.
Due to the nature of the resurfacing work, there is no other option than to close this section of SH6 in both directions during the dates and times above, it says. No detour is available. Traffic management and speed restrictions will be in place on these dates outside of the hours of closure.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
