Media Release: NZTA Friday, 13 April, 2012
The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) is advising motorists to be aware of a number of road works being carried out during the day on State Highway 23 from next week (15/16 April 2012).
Road maintenance crews will be on this highway off and on during next week and the week following as required and as weather conditions permit.
– Resurfacing and resealing works will be carried out on SH 23 near the Raglan Deviation.
NZTA Acting State Highway Manager, Karen Boyt, says that NZTA doesn’t expect significant delays around the road works sites on 23, as access through these areas will be via two lanes.
“We would like to ask motorists to be patient while all of the works are being carried out and to stay aware at all times, as the days and times road crews will be in operation at each site will vary over the next two weeks.
Please slow down, take notice and signage and speed restrictions in place; and where applicable, please follow the direction of our crews’ traffic controllers.”
Ms Boyt says the maintenance work is essential to ensure the ongoing safety of these high-use highways and the NZTA will be carrying out the work swiftly as possible to minimise disruption to traffic. “We appreciate motorists’ understanding, care and cooperation while these maintenance activities are underway.”
