Invercargill Central Mall Car Park To Be Vacated Each Night For Road Works

Starting Sunday evening, 19th January, crews will work on SH1 Tay Street between the Troopers roundabout and Deveron Street in both directions. This work will take place Sunday to Thursday, from 6 pm to 6 am.

If you park in the Invercargill Central car park, please ensure your vehicle is moved before 6 pm the Invercargill Central carpark will be closed each night between Sunday and Thursday from 6pm onwards while Highways South carries out its resurfacing work around the CBD.

People can still access the shopping centre, Reading Cinemas and Esk St Eats after this time via the mall, just not through the mall carpark after 6pm from Sunday to Thursday.

Road workers will be resurfacing Dee, Tay and Clyde Streets through until March, working at night, to cause the least amount of disruption.

They acknowledge people have had to put up with a lot of road works.

This work needed to get this done over the summer period when there is a good stretch of weather, so there’s as little disruption as possible.

All work will be completed in stages and isolated pavement strengthening will also occur.

The milling phase will involve heavy machinery and will be noisy for a short time. The full schedule of work is programmed to be completed by the end of March, depending on weather conditions.

The work was programmed to avoid the peak Christmas period and avoid working while the Burt Munro Challenge is taking place (5-9 February 2025).

Pedestrians will still have access at all times. There may be restrictions to pedestrian crossings while each section of work is underway, and businesses can still be accessed.
