NX2 says it’s too early to say whether disruptions to work on the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway caused by Covid lockdowns will delay its opening, which was formerly due to take place in May next year.
In its October construction update, NX2 says during Alert Level 4 it was forced to halt all non-essential construction work, but work did resume under Alert Level 3.
This required following strict health and safety protocols, including restricted access to the construction site, physical distancing and the use of additional protective clothing.
NX2 says planned major road layout changes for this month at the southern end of the project will be delayed.
When they do occur, the changes will involve moving traffic onto part of the new motorway while work on the southern connection takes place.
Road layout changes planned at the northern end of the project, where NX2 is building a new roundabout, are also on hold until a new works programme is in place.
NX2 says it has received recent reports of people trespassing on the construction site, and warns this endangers the safety of both construction workers and trespassers.
