Glenorchy Road Dealys

Glenorchy Road users can expect some delays throughout next week (26-30 July) as repairs
on the road continue.

Delays of up to an hour should be expected between 11am and 1pm on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.

The closures will mean contractors can safely pour concrete to strengthen the area below
the road.

“We have tried to accommodate regular road users as best we can and keep disruption to an
absolute minimum,” Queenstown Lakes District Council transport service engineer Stafford
Whittfield said.

“But in the name of safety we do ask that drivers follow all signage and drive to the
conditions,” he said.

Repairs on the road started earlier this month after a 2000 tonne slip temporarily closed the
road in May.

The approximate $90,000 repair job includes strengthening the area below the
road, installing a replacement guardrail and asphalting to repair extensive potholing.
