Update 30 August 11:00 am
Ongoing wet weather this week means extra time will be needed to complete this work.
One further night of work has been scheduled for Thursday, 5 September - 9 pm to 5:30 am.
NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Transport Alliance appreciate the ongoing work will create some extra disruption for the public. However, to be durable and effective, road resurfacing must be done during dry conditions.
Until the repairs are completed, a 30 km/h temporary speed limit will remain in place at the roadworks site. The detour only applies when work is underway.
Drivers must observe this speed limit – it is there to protect the road surface as well as prevent damage to vehicles.

Drivers are asked to be ready for roundabout road repairs planned for State Highway 2 in Masterton.
Work will be carried out later this month to repair the road surface on the roundabout at the intersection of State Highway 2 and Queen and Dixon Streets.
Because the resurfacing work requires excavation, part of the roundabout and intersection must be closed to traffic.
The repairs have been timed to be done at night to ensure disruption for drivers and businesses is minimised as much as possible.
However, some impact is unavoidable, and drivers will face short delays and a northbound detour until the repairs are completed. Road users are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys.
Road crews will work hard to finish the job as quickly as possible. They’ll also take steps to keep roadwork noise down for nearby residents.
While the repairs are underway, detours will be in place on adjacent roads for light vehicles. Heavy vehicles should use the Ngaumutawa Road bypass.
