State Highway 1 to be closed eight nights at Ashley River for urgent repairs

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The State Highway 1 bridge over North Canterbury's Ashley River will be closed over eight nights for essential repairs and strengthening work.

The NZ Transport Agency said the bridge – located just north of Waikuku and south of Amberley – would be closed from 8pm to 5am from June 22 to 26 and from June 29 to July 3.

Work would start at 8pm each night, with traffic managed using a stop/go system until 11pm. Motorists should expect short delays during this time.

The bridge will then be closed to all traffic except emergency services between 11pm and 5am.
