If you’re travelling from Wellington to Hutt Valley you will need to go the long way around, via SH1 and SH58.
If you’re travelling from Hutt Valley to Wellington, you can still do so but you will need to use the local road network until you get to the Petone onramp.
If you’re travelling from Wellington to Tawa/ Porirua (or vice versa), no change in normal route.
If you’re travelling to Kapiti from Wellington, or vice versa, there is intermittent road access up the coast. There is very limited access on the coast road so expect long delays
If you’re heading to Wairarapa – Access Rimutaka Hill Road via SH1 and SH58.
