SH2 Te Puna roundabout to Clarke Road resurfacing

|

State Highway 2 (SH2) between Te Puna roundabout and Clarke Road will be looking fresh by the end of August after 5 nights of road resurfacing is completed.

Work gets underway on Sunday 25 August for 5 nights (completing Friday morning 30 August), with crews carrying out asphalt resurfacing between 8pm and 5am. Stop/go traffic management will be in place overnight while the work is taking place.

Maintenance on this high volume stretch of road is very important for safety and resilience of the network. We understand how working in this area of the Western Bay can cause significant delays and queues, which is why crews are working at night to minimise disruption. 

During the day there will be a reduced speed limit until the work is complete and there will also be gentle ramps to allow for the height difference of the surfaces while work is carried out.

More than 20,000 people travel through this part of SH2 daily, a smooth road makes all these trips safer and more enjoyable. We have several more sites being programmed for SH2 this maintenance season, including the Te Puna roundabout. This will be alongside ongoing works at Minden for the Takitimu North Link project, we encourage people to prepare and check Journey Planner before you travel.

Delays are to be expected, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience.
