The NZ Transport Agency is carrying out night work on State Highway 2 at intersections near Te Puna and Omokoroa next week.

The pre-planned interim safety improvement work will take place at Barrett and Plummers Point Roads and Snodgrass and Te Puna Quarry Roads.

It will involve installing new road markings and lane marker posts to slow people down and show where the correct lanes are.

The NZTA says the work will be carried out at night from Monday, March 12 from 7pm to 6am to reduce the inconvenience to road users and should take at least two nights to complete.

Similar intersection improvements were made at the Omokoroa Rd intersection.
