The on-ramp from the Route K overbridge to Takitimu Drive will be closed to eastbound traffic next week.

NZ Transport Agency is shutting down the stretch of road to allow for resurfacing works to take place over to consecutive nights.

Eastbound vehicles using the Route K toll road won't be charged while the road works are taking place.

Eastbound traffic from Route K [toll road] will be diverted onto 15th Ave, Cameron Road and Elizabeth Street.

'The works will take place between 6pm and 6.30am on the nights of May 11, 12 and 13.," says the roading organisation

'When the detour is in place, eastbound vehicles will not be charged for use of the Route K toll road.”
