The road will be closed to vehicles from and including the junction with Park Road to the lower junction with Hilary Park, with all parking suspended. The closure will be in place until works are complete.

The Department of Infrastructure hopes to complete works in about a week, but additional time has been allowed on the closure beyond this to take into account the possibility of weather delays.
