Bay of Plenty and Waikato road users are reminded to plan ahead before travelling this ANZAC weekend so they can get to their destination safely and avoid delays.
The iconic Forgotten World Highway (State Highway 43) has been getting a well-deserved upgrade recently with a number of works to improve safety and resilience completed and underway.
A change to a land transport rule came into force on 5 April 2022 enabling bilingual school traffic signs, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Director of Land Transport Kane Patena announced.
Road contractors across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty state highway network will be hopping home and potentially enjoying a well-earned treat over the Easter and ANZAC Day holiday period.
Road users on State Highway 27 south of Matamata will soon be travelling over the newly constructed Manawapou Bridge across the Mangawhero Stream as construction on the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency project draws to a close.
UPDATE - 3.30pm Thu 14 April: The last remaining section of State Highway 35 closed due to the impacts of Cyclone Fili – the section between the intersection with Poroporo Road, northeast of Tikitiki, and the intersection with Waiomatatini Road at the turn-off to Ruatoria – will reopen by 5pm today, in time for the Easter holiday weekend.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises of the following closures for motorway improvements. Work delayed by bad weather will be completed at the next available date, prior to Friday, 22 April 2022.
An upgrade to two intersections on State Highway 2 (SH2) between Wainui Road and Ōpōtiki will be welcomed by locals who have been calling for safety improvements in this area.
UPDATE 2, 11.20am Wed 14 April: State Highway 35 has now reopened to Tokomaru Bay, but remains closed between Tokomaru Bay and Potaka. Contractors are out clearing the road but people are advised to travel carefully, expect the unexpected and remain alert for unreported hazards.
Waka Kotahi is reminding Auckland motorists heading north this Easter weekend to avoid the central motorway junction from tomorrow night, where important maintenance work will close a section of the Southern Motorway.
Waka Kotahi and Auckland Transport are urging those heading away this Easter to plan ahead in order to avoid traffic congestion, queues and long delays.
