People travelling through the Baypark to Bayfair area are being asked to slow down and take extra care in the lead up to Christmas with road closures and detours in place to allow crews to start applying the final, smooth layer of road surface.
The NZ Transport Agency, Waka Kotahi, and Auckland Transport are urging people to plan ahead with the possibility of significant disruptions on key roads across the North Island tomorrow morning.
Work is beginning to repair and restore three sections of cyclone-damaged State Highway 2 between Wairoa and Napier. These sections will be back to two lanes before Christmas.
Temporary detour signage for the State Highway 1B Telephone Road rail crossing closure east of Hamilton will soon be replaced with fixed signs to lower costs while the long-term future of the crossing is decided.
Remedial works on State Highway 1 at Rangiriri are coming to an end but there are still two weeks of repairs before all four lanes are open to traffic.
