A stretch of State Highway 2 / Hawke’s Bay Expressway will close overnight tonight for repairs to guardrail and flexible barriers.
The expressway will close between the Pākowhai/Links Road and Evenden Road roundabouts from 8pm tonight and reopen at 5am on Thursday.
Northbound road users will be detoured onto Evenden Road and left onto Pākowhai before rejoining the expressway.
The reverse will apply for southbound road users.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi acknowledges the closure is short notice and is confident the overnight closure will minimise disruption to commuter traffic.
NZTA advises road users to plan their journey accordingly and thanks people for taking the detour.
