NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising motorists travelling between Turangi and National Park on SH4 to drive to the conditions following a bitumen spillage.
NZTA has received a number of reports today on SH47 of bitumen sticking to vehicle tyres.
Crews are currently on site applying loose grit to the road to cover the spillage while NZTA investigates the cause.
Traffic management is in place, in addition to a temporary lower speed.
Please drive to the conditions while the traffic management is in place and expect some delays while the traffic moves through the site.
NZTA National Journey Manager Helen Harris is reassuring motorists that SH47 is still open and that it’s vital people adhere to the traffic management in place.
