The guardrail on the Porter River Bridge, SH73, is being permanently reinstated next week over four nights, Tuesday, 3 August to Friday, 6 August.
The work will take place at night to avoid most daytime travellers – 7 pm to 5 am the next day, says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Road users will be allowed across the single lane bridge at the top of each hour.
The bridge has reopened to light traffic after hours of stress tests, but further work will happen on Wednesday evening to confirm its strength to heavy vehicles.
