Weighbridge replacement at Invercargill Transfer Station
Work to replace the outgoing weighbridge at the Invercargill Transfer Station will begin on Thursday, 10 September and take about four weeks.
The transfer station will remain open during the work, but customers should expect some delays.
All vehicles entering and leaving the site will use the incoming weighbridge, with temporary traffic lights in place to manage traffic.
If you are planning a visit, please allow extra time. If your trip is not urgent, consider waiting until the work is complete.
