Southbound motorway access at the Drury Interchange is changing this Sunday.
The right turn lane from SH22 Great South Road onto the southbound on-ramp at Drury Interchange will be closed for up to two years, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) says.
“As part of the State Highway 1 (SH1) Papakura to Drury project, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising people in South Auckland to plan ahead for the upcoming long-term closure of the right-hand turn from Great South Road onto the SH1 southbound on-ramp at Drury Interchange from Sunday, June 22,” the agency says.
This right-turn closure is expected to remain in place for up to two years and is to provide working space for construction on the new SH1 bridge over Great South Road and the new southbound on-ramp at Drury Interchange.
During this right turn closure, the left turn entry from Great South Road onto the existing southbound on-ramp will remain open. A signposted detour will direct people to the Drury roundabout and back to turn left onto the Drury southbound on-ramp.
NZTA says that drivers may choose to use Great South Road to access SH1 southbound at Ramarama Interchange. This alternative is the approved route for HPMV (High Performance Motor Vehicle) travel.
People can expect some morning and afternoon peak hour delays while drivers adapt to the right-turn lane closure and detour, the agency says.
Earlier this week, NZTA announced the new temporary traffic lights at the State Highway 22 (SH22) intersection with Great South Road at Drury will be commissioned overnight on Monday, June 23.
