Waka Kotahi news
State Highway 23 will be closed near Te Uku for a few hours on Wednesday 15 March, to
retrieve a concrete truck which rolled off the road last week.
The road will be closed from 10am and is expected to reopen around 2pm.
Cordons will be in place from the east and west end of Okete Road, with traffic detoured along this
road. Motorists should expect an additional 10-20 minutes of travel time.
In the event of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, this work may be postponed.
Visit Waka Kotahi’s Journey Planner website for up-to-date information on the road closure, detours,
traffic, road works and delays.
