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 (see below).
