Nightworks will be undertaken between MacKay Street and Grey Street in Thames and between Kopu Road and the entrance to Claymark in Kopu between 8pm and 5am.

It is important motorists adhere to the relevant temporary speed limits during these works to avoid damage to their vehicles and ensure their safety and that of other road users and road workers.
These works are part of the Waka Kotahi spring/summer road maintenance programme, which will see repairs and reseals on state highways across the Waikato to ensure the safety and resilience of the state highway network.
