With the onset of summer and more reliable construction weather, a large programme of work will start on the Auckland and Northland state highway network.
The Transport Agency says drivers should allow for any disruptions this work may cause to their summer journeys. It will work closely with Auckland Transport, Police and other stakeholders to keep drivers informed.
A dedicated website –nzta.govt.nz/summerseason – has been established to provide information about work affecting travel in Auckland and Northland this summer season.
In Northland a $13m maintenance renewals programme will take place at a number of different sites around the region. Contractors will be improving the pavements, repairing cracked surfaces, and improving slippery surfaces that have reduced skid resistance.
In Auckland upgrades to major parts of the network such as the Victoria Park Viaduct, re-surfacing a section of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, as well as extensive construction works as projects in the area get underway.
When the work is finished the Transport Agency says it will help people and freight move around Auckland and Northland safer and more efficiently.
