Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises resurfacing work will take place on the slip lane to the Takitimu Drive Toll Road, joining State Highway 29 from State Highway 2, overnight on Tuesday.

To reduce impact on motorists, work is scheduled to take place between 6pm Tuesday night and 6am Wednesday morning.

Only Tauriko-bound traffic will be affected.

A detour will be in place via State Highway 2, Moffatt Road and Cambridge Road. The rest of the toll road will operate as normal.

Motorists are asked to plan ahead and take extra care.

These works are part of the Waka Kotahi road maintenance programme to repair and reseal state highways across the Bay of Plenty to ensure the safety and resilience of the transport network.

In the event of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, work may be postponed. Visit the interactive Waka Kotahi Journey Planner website for the latest information on roadworks, traffic, road closures and detours to help plan your trip.

Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience.
