NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is advising road users on State Highway 4 next week to prepare for resealing work.
Stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH4 between Raetihi to Upokongaro each day from Monday 9 December to Friday 13 December. Crews will be onsite from 8am til 6pm.
Between Monday and Wednesday, road users can expect delays of up to an hour due to the need to hold traffic while sealing works are underway on narrower sections of road. On Thursday and Friday, that delay is expected to be 5 to 10 minutes.
NZTA strongly urges all road users to plan ahead, avoid travel during this time if possible and expect the delays.
A 30 km/h speed limit will also be in place.
NZTA acknowledges these delays are significant and apologises to all road users on SH4 for the frustration, as we work to boost the resilience of this road.
We thank you for your patience and understanding during these works.
