Detour routes
As there are no fully sealed roads nearby for detouring traffic around the work site, and to avoid congestion, we have utilised north and south-bound detours to avoid tight road widths and for safe traffic movement.

Northbound Traffic: Right onto Leaches Road, left onto Constitution Road, left onto Mt Palm Road, and continue on Heaton Street.
Southbound Traffic: Left onto Heaton Street, continue on MT Palm Road, right onto Constitution Road, left onto Isolated Hill Road, right onto St Leonards Road, exiting onto SH7 Culverden.

Please follow all detour signage and temporary speed limits.

WHY: Road rehabilitation project and drainage improvements.

As part of MainPower's new substation build on Reserve Road, new power poles will be installed along Reserve Road. There will be open trenching for cables. To reduce future impacts to traffic, Hurunui District Council will concurrently upgrade the water network in this portion of Reserve Road and Lawcocks Road intersection. These water upgrades are to replace aging infrastructure and add capacity for future growth in the areas surrounding Amberley.

As part of this work, MainPower crews will be trenching across the road so a full closure is required.

This is Stage One of the sub-station upgrade. Once complete, Reserve Road will re-open and Stage Two will begin.

Stage Two will impact Lawcocks Road. It is planned that single lane, one direction traffic flow will be implemented - northbound traffic will be detoured. More information on dates etc. will be known once Stage One is completed.

Stage One - full closure of Reserve Road.
Stage Two - Lawcocks Road open only to southbound traffic. Northbound traffic will be detoured.

  • Closure location: Reserve Road Amberley (Between Lawcocks Rd and Douglas Rd)
  • Closure time: 07:00-18:00 daily
  • Reason for closure: Upgrading existing overhead line.

For information on the project please contact Mainpower - 0800 30 90 80

Detours in place via Blythe Road, and Hurunui Mouth Rd - section of Stonyhurst Road and Motunau Beach Road.
