As winter temperatures settle in, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is shifting focus to routine maintenance and responding to weather-related issues such as slips and flooding, says Sandra King, System Manager for the Bay of Plenty. 

“Asphalt resurfacing will be a key focus over the coming month on SH2 north of Tauranga, with crews working at multiple locations between Te Puna and Athenree.  

“Work is scheduled to begin on Sunday 6 July and will continue Sunday to Thursday for 2 weeks. To minimise disruption to motorists, all resurfacing will take place at night between 7pm and 5am,” says Ms King.

All worksites will operate under stop/go traffic management with a temporary speed limit of 30km/h. 

Scheduled work – all work is weather dependent and subject to change 

Week 1 from Sunday 6 July 

Week 2 from Sunday 13 July
