Overnight surfacing repair works will be taking place on State Highway 2 at Te Puna on Monday.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises that SH2 will be closed to westbound traffic around the Te Puna roundabout for surfacing repair works overnight on Monday.

Motorists are encouraged to take care and follow the directions of traffic management staff and signs.

A detour will be in place for those travelling toward Te Puna, with traffic directed down Te Puna Station Road, then Te Puna Road, before rejoining SH2 at the Te Puna roundabout.

In the event of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, work may be postponed. Visit the Waka Kotahi Journey Planner (journeys.nzta.govt.nz) website for up to date information on the road closure, detours, traffic, road works and delays.
