Contractors will be on site at State Highway 1 between Levin and Foxton overnight from next week preparing for the installation of flexible median barrier.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is advising road users to be aware of a temporary shift in the lanes between the Manawatū River Bridge and Oturoa Rd and to adhere to temporary speed restrictions.
Crews will be onsite from this Sunday (May 5), working overnight to get the road ready for the new safety barrier installation.
These works will be completed at night between 7pm and 7am, Sunday to Thursday, to minimise disruptions to traffic.
Both lanes will remain open, but both directions will be shifted closer to the centre line and a lower speed limit will be in place.
