Press Release: NZTA

The details below outline the main planned state highway roadworks occurring in the greater Wellington region and the top of the South Island over the coming week (5 February 2023).

People planning to travel over the Waitangi Day long weekend should check the latest information on road closures and restrictions before starting their journeys, allow plenty of extra time and expect delays in several regions.

Parts of the country remain under Metservice heavy rain watches and warnings, including parts of Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Taranaki and the South Island’s West Coast.

A number of state highways remain closed due to significant slips and other damage, with lengthy detours in place which will add significantly to travel times in affected areas.

Further details about regional state highway conditions and roadworks are also published on our website:

NOTE: Roadworks are dependent on weather and other factors. If bad weather should strike, work will be postponed to the next suitable night in the works programme.
