SH3 down to one lane for maintenance
The NZ Transport Authority (NZTA) is advising motorists to plan ahead for two weeks of stop and go on State Highway 3, near the intersection with Wanganui Rd, starting on Thursday, November 26, for pavement and drainage improvement works.
The state highway will be down to one lane from 6am until 6pm on weekdays and some weekends.
Delays of 5 to 10 minutes are expected while this work is taking place.
In the event of bad weather, work will be carried out on the next fine day. NZTA regional transport systems manager Ross I’Anson said the work is part of a nationwide maintenance programme.
“The work under way on SH3 at Turakina is replacing a length of road, pavement and associated drainage, as part of our wider maintenance programme for state highways across the country which ensures that our roads remain safe and resilient,” he said.
