Works to restore SH25A at the Taparahi worksite are coming to an end.
However, to carry out some final works at the new bridge, SH25A will be closed overnight on Wednesday, March 6.
During the closure, New Zealand Transport AgencyWaka Kotahi (NZTA) contractorswill install a new rubber seal into one of the bridge joints which runs across the full width of the road.
At the same time, the team will install grates on the side drains along the eastern road approach.
NZTA said the closure was crucial for the work to be carried out, and it is being done overnight to minimise disruption to road users.
