SH7 closed between Greymouth and Stillwater this Friday
Motorists travelling between Greymouth and Stillwater on SH7 will have to take the Taylorville side of the Grey River on Friday, February 3 for four hours as work to remediate the highway surface and remove a manhole is completed.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency crews will close the highway between 10am and 2pm (after the school bus runs and before the end of the school day) at Omoto that day, affecting the route between Greymouth and Stillwater.
A detour via Taylorville Rd would be in place for vehicles but HPMV and overweight vehicles/trucks must use SH7 so would need to plan their journeys around the four-hour closure, Waka Kotahi West Coast maintenance contract manager Moira Whinham said.
“Although the detour route is not much longer than the SH7 route, anyone travelling from Kaiata will need to backtrack to Stillwater, adding 20 minutes to their normal direct route to Greymouth."
The closure is weather dependent and may be rescheduled if it is wet. Check www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz... for updates.
Waka Kotahi thanked all regular users of this highway for their patience while the work was completed at Omoto.
