"Important travel advice to all motorists -->
To enable us to open up the new southbound Newmarket Viaduct, we will be closing the Southern Motorway, southbound, between Gillies Ave and Greenlane for a period of up to 36 hours. This necessary closure will take place from 5pm on Saturday September 4, meaning the motorway will remain closed, southbound, throughout Sunday September 5. When the motorway reopens in time for Monday morning, southbound traffic will travel across the first half of the new Newmarket Viaduct.
The closure will cause significant disruption throughout central Auckland, as up to 60,000 vehicles are re-routed through local roads. Therefore we advise all motorists to only travel by car if it is really necessary over this period, particularly on the Sunday.
Should you need to travel by car, please consult the detour maps. These detours will provide you with the best travel option to key destination points, however delays are inevitable. Your best bet on this Fathers day is to either switch your mode of transport, or keep it very local.
Thank you for your cooperation. This single weekend closure and opening of the new bridge will allow us to open the fourth southbound lane from the city to Greenlane by early 2011, reducing journey times and peak hour frustrations for regular commuters, and providing an improved driving experience for all."
