Waka Kotahi is advising holidaymakers and other road users to plan ahead for likely delays as repair work is undertaken on Monday evening (December 26) to fix damage to the centre wire rope median barrier near Te Kauwhata.
Temporary road closures will be in place around Trustpower Baypark, on State Highway 2 between Sandhurst Drive and SH2/29A Te Maunga Interchange, and on Truman Lane in early January 2023, with two major events taking place in the Bay.
While many are wrapping their final presents, road workers throughout the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region are putting the finishing touches on a number of new road surfaces.
Santa’s sleigh will be able to touch down on a number of newly sealed roads, as contractors across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region continue to make the most of any dry weather in the lead-up to the holiday season.
There will be overnight works and detours on the Ngāruawāhia section of the Waikato Expressway leading up to the holidays when the site will be returned to two lanes in each direction.
