Work to improve cliff stability on Rocks Rd will continue next week after the arrival of protective meshing.
AN NZTA spokesperson says the protective mesh needed for the next stage of work has now arrived in the country.
This is scheduled to be installed before Nelson Anniversary Weekend and Waitangi Day to help keep the route safe and reduce disruptions.
Work will take place on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 January, between 9am and 4pm, as crews place the mesh along the crest of the cliff. Traffic on Rocks Road will be unaffected.
Night works will be undertaken from Sunday, 25 January which will involve crews unrolling the mesh and securing it to the cliff face.
During night hours, stop/go management and temporary speed restrictions will be in place with delays of up to 10 minutes expected through till the early hours of Thursday, 29 January.
During the day, both lanes of the road will be open.
While traffic management is in place, crews will also take the opportunity to clear material behind barriers, extend fencing, and carry out general tidy-up work.
