Roadworks on Northland’s state highway network are set to ramp up with warmer weather on the way, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says.
Maintenance and operations regional manager Jacqui Hori-Hoult says another large maintenance programme is in store with 156 lane kilometres set to be renewed across the regional network.
“We know both Kiwis and visitors will be looking forward to travelling throughout Northland this summer, so please be aware that you will see an increase in maintenance teams working across the entire highway network,” she says.
Road users may expect delays on their key routes and the best tool for understanding how this impacts journeys is the Waka Kotahi Journey Planner.
It shows all known worksite or hazards affecting access on the network and can help with choosing the best route, Waka Kotahi says.
To alleviate congestion over the Christmas and New Year holiday period, all work sites will close on Friday, 22 December 2023, starting up again from Monday, 8 January 2024.
