Resurfacing work gets underway today for State Highway 25A in the Coromandel Peninsula.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises the resurfacing night work will be on the eastern side of the Kopu-Hikuai summit.

The work will be carried out between today and Tuesday February 23. Stop/Go traffic management with short durations of Stop/Stop traffic management will be in place, with a temporary speed limit of 30km per hour then 50km per hour until the line markings are reinstated.

It is important motorists adhere to the relevant temporary speed limits during these works to avoid damage to their vehicles and ensure their safety and that of other road users and road workers.

These works are part of the Waka Kotahi spring/summer road maintenance programme, which will see repairs and reseals on state highways across the Waikato to ensure the safety and resilience of the state highway network.

In the event of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, work may be postponed.

Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience while we undertake these important works.
