Motorists are advised work to relocate 4 streetlights from the intersection of State Highway 2 (SH2) and Wainui Road, west of Ōpōtiki, will be taking place from tomorrow, Friday 23 May for 3 to 5 days.  

The plan is to disconnect 2 to 3 streetlights at a time and reconnect them the following day. While this work is underway there will be a shoulder closure in place until Monday 26 May. Motorists are asked to please follow the temporary traffic management, including the 50km/h speed limit.   

The streetlights will be moved between 2 to 5 metres from their current positions to enable construction of the SH2/Wainui Road Matekerepu roundabout to continue. The roundabout is part of the SH2 Wainui Road to Ōpōtiki safety improvements project.  

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) thanks road users for their patience and co-operation.
