SH1 Oakleigh roadworks

Event date: Friday, 18 April 2025 | 12:00 AM to 05:00 AM

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) contractors will be rebuilding a section of State Highway 1 at Oakleigh.

From Tuesday 25 March to Tuesday 1 April 2025, the road will be reduced to one lane between Mangapai Road and Totara Road, with stop / go traffic management and a 30km/h temporary speed limit in place for the duration to accommodate the asphalt rebuild works.

Work will be undertaken overnight between 9:00pm and 5:00am Sunday to Thursday. There will be no works on Friday and Saturday nights. Travel delays are expected to be five to 10 minutes.

Contractors will then return from Wednesday 9 April to Thursday 1 May 2025 to complete the work. Work will again take place between 9:00pm and 5:00am Sunday to Thursday, and there will be stop / go traffic management and a 30km/h temporary speed limit for the duration. 

Work will stop for Easter weekend (Friday 18 to Monday 21 April 2025) and Anzac Day (Friday 25 April 2025).

On Sunday 13 April 2025, there will be a full road closure in place overnight. Southbound traffic will be detoured via Mangapai Road, Paparoa Oakleigh Road, SH12 Maungaturoto to SH1 Brynderwyn. Northbound traffic will take the same route, in reverse (see map below). The detour is expected to add 25 minutes to people’s journeys. People are asked to plan ahead and allow additional time.

Access for residents and emergency services will be maintained throughout the works. 

There will be increased noise for residents in the area. 

This work is weather dependent and there may be changes to the planned works in the case of unsuitable weather.
