A caller to the 0800 SUNLIVE hotline says traffic is significantly building up south of Katikati on SH2 this morning.
"It's about a 30 minute delay coming towards Tauranga," says the caller.
"There's road works near the Tetley Road intersection, it's causing traffic to build up significantly."
According to Google Maps' live traffic reporting, traffic is moving slowly from Katikati to Thompsons Track.
"The delays are due to work on the new roundabout at Rea Road/Tetley Road, which is nearing completion. We've got stop/go there today from 9.00-4.00pm, pouring centre islands north of Tetley/Rea and installing some street lighting at the same time," says a Waka Kotahi NZTA spokesperson.
"The team is working as quickly and as hard as they can to keep the disruption limited and clear traffic. We are unable to do this part of the work at nights."

We're living in a third world country. There is also a weekend. Transport Agency and its contractors have no respect or care for the motoring public. Queue at one stage heading to Katikati was north of Aongatete.
