Delays at SH29A Maungatapu roundabout this weekend

Expect lengthy delays at SH29A Maungatapu roundabout this weekend, avoid the area if possible

The NZ Transport Agency is encouraging drivers to avoid State Highway 29A at the Maungatapu roundabout this weekend as delays of up to 12 minutes are possible.

Heavy machinery, including large cranes, will be moving a high voltage power line so work can continue on the roundabout as part of the Maungatapu underpass project.

Speed restrictions and lane closures will be in place on Saturday July 23 and Sunday July 24 between the hours of 7am and 6pm and drivers travelling through will experience lengthy delays.

Motorists are urged to use alternative routes or plan travel outside of these hours to avoid delays at the busy worksite.

This work is weather dependent and will take place the following weekend if delayed.

The Transport Agency apologises for any inconvenience and thanks motorists for their patience as work on the Maungatapu Underpass project continues.
