The NZ Transport Agency is reminding motorists to drive with care in the Waikato this Queen’s Birthday weekend with a holiday on Monday, which means there may be more than the usual traffic on Waikato roads.
The Transport Agency’s Waikato journey manager Liam Ryan says, “My advice is to plan ahead and allow extra time when travelling through the Waikato this long weekend.”
Speed restrictions and traffic management are in place around the Waikato region as work on the Waikato Expressway and other projects continues.
Sites on the way to Raglan where delays are possible are detailed below to help motorists plan ahead when travelling:
SH23, at Te Pahu Rd corner
Stop/go traffic management and speed restrictions are in place to allow contractors to carry out drainage works and repair a guard rail. Motorists are advised to expect short delays.
SH23, on the ‘Raglan deviation’
Stop/go traffic management will be in place at times until mid-June to allow contractors to install a new culvert. Work hours 7am-5pm. Motorists are advised to expect minor delays.
The Transport Agency apologises for any inconvenience and thanks motorists for their patience.
