Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is aiming to start safety improvements on State Highway 3 between New Plymouth and Egmont Village in the first half of 2023.
Waka Kotahi says it has been full steam ahead on state highway sealing in Taranaki this season, with crews completing half the summer sealing programme prior to Christmas.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises motorists that essential maintenance road pavement rehabilitation will take place on State Highway 50 (Links Road) between Franklin Road and SH50 Korokipo Road / Waiohiki Road intersection from Monday, 9 January 2023 to Saturday, 28 January 2023 between 6am and 6pm (weekdays).
The southbound lane on State Highway 2 between College Road and Silverstream Station in Central Hawke’s Bay is now open – just in time for the summer holidays.
Temporary road closures will be in place around Trustpower Baypark, on State Highway 2 between Sandhurst Drive and SH2/29A Te Maunga Interchange, and on Truman Lane in early January 2023, with two major events taking place in the Bay.
Christmas cheer is in short supply on Waikato roads this week, as they were visited by another round of inclement weather, which has affected both road conditions and progress on critical road renewals.
While many are wrapping their final presents, road workers throughout the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region are putting the finishing touches on a number of new road surfaces.
Waka Kotahi is advising motorists that essential seal repairs will be carried out on sections of SH3 at Tariki tonight (14 December) between 8pm and midnight, under Stop/Go traffic control, with delays of 5-10 minutes, weather permitting.
Waka Kotahi is urging people to have their say on safer speeds proposed for Hawke’s Bay as part of as part of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s Interim State Highway Speed Management Plan (ISMP), with consultation closing on Monday 12 December.
