NETWORK UPDATE | AWAKINO GORGE 27 OCT - 5 Nov

We would like to advise that SH3 through the Awakino Gorge will be closed nightly from 27 October to 5 November, between 7.00 pm and 4.00 am to allow critical maintenance works to be carried out safely within the gorge.


As a result of the additional costs associated with these alternative routing requirements, a temporary Network Disruption Charge will be introduced for freight moving through the SH3 Awakino Gorge corridor during the planned closure period.

What you need to know:

  • The charge applies only to freight impacted by the SH3 Awakino Gorge closure.

  • The charge will apply from 27 October to 5 November 2026.

  • Should the closure be postponed due to weather, the charge will instead apply during the revised closure dates.

  • Further information about the closure is available HERE

 

We appreciate your understanding, as we work to maintain reliable freight services throughout this period.

 

If you have any questions, please contact your Account Manager or our Customer Service team.
