The end of construction is in sight for new roundabouts being built on State Highway 6 near Marlborough Airport.

The project is delivering improvements to the highway between Woodbourne and Springlands, with work ongoing since the beginning of this year.
One roundabout has already been completed, Saint Leonards Road and Bells Road, and a second one is under construction at the intersection of Tancred Crescent and State Highway 6.

Jetesh Bhula, Regional Manager Infrastructure Delivery, says the project is about to step up another gear, with sealing work planned for late this month and early December.

There will be a road closure on SH6 at St Leonard and Bells Road roundabout for sealing work during the day and night. For the Marlborough Airport roundabout, this will be completed during the evening with SH6 remaining closed in one direction along with Tancred Crescent being closed.

The Bells/ St Leonard Roads roundabout will be done first, from 29 November to 1 December during the day and night. Contractors are aiming to complete sealing works on the State Highway/Tancred Crescent from 3 to 4 December during the night to avoid interfering with travellers getting into and out of the airport.
