Due to resurfacing work taking place on State Highway 30 from Matahi Rd to the intersection of SH30/SH34, a road closure will be in place next week.

The closure will take place from Monday, November 13 to Friday, November 17 between 7am and 5pm each weekday.

There will also be a soft closure at the intersection of SH30/SH33 up until Matahi Rd, as access will be maintained here for businesses and residents.

Speed restrictions will remain in place, and motorists are asked to drive with care.

"Expect significant delays," says a Waka Kotahi NZTA spokesperson.

"Please allow an extra 30 minutes of travel time for your journey."
