They will be moving westbound traffic travelling toward Wynyard on to the new Cam River Bridge first. After the westbound traffic has been moved, they will be doing night works to widen the approaches to the new bridge. Once the approaches have been widened, the eastbound traffic will then be moved on to the new Cam River Bridge.

There will be a reduced speed limit with a single lane closure at night during our working hours, 7:00 pm to 6:00 am.
