Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises that resurfacing works will take place at two sites in and around Tauranga during the week beginning Sunday September 13.

These works are part of the Waka Kotahi spring and summer road maintenance programme, which will see repairs and reseals on state highways across the Bay of Plenty.

Work will be undertaken at night to reduce the impact on motorists. Delays are expected and motorists are asked to take extra care.

For SH29, between Soldiers Rd and Valley View Rd, Stop/Go traffic management will be in place between 7pm and 6am on the nights of Monday September 14 and Tuesday September 15.

For SH2 Takitimu Dr/15th Ave off-ramp, a lane closure will be in place between 7pm and 5am on the nights of Wednesday September 16 and Thursday September 17.

There will be temporary speed limits of 30 km per hour in place during the works.

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 - for the latest information on roadworks, traffic, road closures and detours to help plan your trip.

Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience.
