Trial change to Melling Link Bridge lanes

Hutt City Council shares the following heads-up about a change coming up on the Melling Link Bridge.

From Sunday 19 July, NZTA is trialling a new lane layout on the Melling Link Bridge to help reduce delays when leaving Lower Hutt.

• During the trial, both westbound lanes on the bridge will be able to continue north towards Upper Hutt.
• The left lane will still be available for people heading south to Wellington.
• The traffic lights at the Melling and Tirohanga intersections will also be adjusted so they’re working with the new layout.
• The trial will run for 8 weeks.
• Temporary lane markings and signage will be in place during the trial.
• NZTA has shared a post on Facebook with more info, including an image attached here.
