NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) advises State Highway 1 Te Kamo Bypass, Whangārei, will be closed between Great North Road and Kamo Road from 7pm on Monday 4 November to 5am on Tuesday 5 November for streetlight replacement.
Contractors will make the most of the closure to undertake other road maintenance activity, such as vegetation clearing and pothole repairs.
Regular traffic will be detoured via Kamo township. The detour is expected to add less than five minutes to people’s journeys.
The detour route is not approved for HPMV and over-dimension loads. They will be queued and escorted through the site approximately every 20 minutes, as required.
Access for residents and emergency services will be maintained during the works. The equipment used may create noise, however we will do our best to minimise disruption.
