Tauranga resurfacing works – week beginning Sun 18 October

|

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises resurfacing works will take place on State Highway 2 in Tauranga, between the Waihi Road on-ramp and Elizabeth Street, from this Sunday night, 18 October.

The work will be completed overnight on Sunday 18 October and Monday 19 October to reduce the impact on motorists. Delays are expected and motorists are advised to take care, plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.

A detour will be in place for northbound traffic on the Waihi Road on-ramp between 7pm and 5am on both nights, with road users detoured via Waihi Road, Eleventh Avenue, Cameron Road, Elizabeth Street and then back onto SH2 to continue their journey. The road will be open between 5am and 7pm under a temporary speed limit.

These works are part of the Waka Kotahi spring/summer road maintenance programme, which will see repairs and reseals on state highways across the Bay of Plenty to ensure the safety and resilience of the state highway network.

If you are travelling at these times please take extra care, reduce your speed and follow directions of traffic management staff and signage.

In the event of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, work will be postponed. Visit the interactive Waka Kotahi Journey Planner website (journeys.nzta.govt.nz(external link)) for the latest information on roadworks, traffic, road closures and detours to help plan your trip.

Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience.

Plan ahead for a safe, enjoyable journey. Keep up to date with:
