With traffic expected to be heavy over the Easter weekend the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) is advising motorists to allow time for potential delays, and to take care in the event of bad weather.
The NZ Transport Agency has largely completed the first stage of pavement renewal and resurfacing on the southbound lane on a section of State Highway 1 near Paekakariki, and work will resume next week after the Easter break.
The NZ Transport Agency is urging drivers to plan ahead to help minimise the impact of scheduled Easter weekend closures and detours at two of Auckland's busiest motorway interchanges - Gillies Avenue on the Southern Motorway (State Highway 1) and Maioro Street on the Southwestern Motorway (SH20).
The NZ Transport Agency will open its Northern Gateway Toll Road call centre on Good Friday (6 April) and again on Easter Monday (9 April) to provide an extended holiday service for those people wanting to pay tolls by telephone.
The NZ Transport Agency says it will be monitoring the temporary diversion route through the Waioeka Gorge near Gisborne as severe weather is forecasted to hit the Eastern Bay of Plenty early this week.
