STOKES VALLEY TRAFFIC UPDATE
Please note that the traffic lights which were at the north entrance of the Stokes Valley roundabout are now controlling traffic at the slip site further up Eastern Hutt Rd towards Silverstream, between the roundabout and Reynolds Bach Drive. The road is open for travel in both directions however there is a 300 metre section which is down to one lane, controlled by the lights. Concrete blocks are in place protecting the open lane from new slips.
There will be delays through this area so please plan your travel times accordingly or avoid the area and use SH2 if possible to reduce congestion.
The traffic lights on Stokes Valley Rd before the Caltex service station will not operate tomorrow.
Further slip activity occurred near previous slips on Eastern Hutt Rd below Holborn Drive. Traffic management was already in place with shipping containers protecting the road ,and traffic is moving in both directions. A large tree at the top of one slip below Holborn Drive was removed.
We appreciate your ongoing understanding and patience while we work through this and ask all road users to continue to be courteous to other drivers.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
