State Highway 6 Whangamoa Saddle closed from Sunday, 23 Feb to Thursday 13 March

State Highway 6 (SH6) Whangamoa Saddle will be closed from Sunday, 23 February to the night of Thursday, 13 March, excluding Friday and Saturday nights. The closures will be in place between 8pm to 5.30am, with openings each night at 12.30am to let queued traffic through and then the road will close again. This will affect passengers travelling between Blenheim and Nelson before or after their sailing. If you are planning to take this route, we recommend either travelling outside of these times, or taking the detour via SH63 (see map below). It's a longer journey, so you'll need to allow more time for it.

Plan your trip - check for roadworks

Please plan ahead and allow plenty of time to get to your Bluebridge ferry before your final check-in time. Keep in mind that roadworks are happening across the country which may add time to your journey.
