Changed traffic conditions in Granton – August 2023

Changes to traffic conditions on Black Snake Road and the Brooker Highway northbound on and off ramps in Granton are now in place as major construction continues on the new Bridgewater Bridge.

Drivers will be directed onto a new temporary section of Black Snake Road closer to the Brooker Highway to allow for the construction of a new section of the Lyell Highway.

The temporary road will be in place until traffic is then shifted onto the new alignment slightly further to the west later this year.

Access to Black Snake Road will be maintained at all times, and the on and off ramps will continue to be operational.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane at times and some speed limit reductions will also apply.

While no significant delays through the area are expected, drivers should plan their journeys, allow extra time and obey all signage and instructions from traffic controllers.
