Information about roadworks in the Wairarapa region
Well-maintained roads are an important part of keeping people safe. While we aim to do this work with as little disruption as possible, we know that roadworks can be inconvenient. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we do this important work.
Please drive carefully through work sites and stick to the temporary speed limits. If you’re driving around the Wairarapa region, roadworks on the state highway network may affect your travel plans.
Below is a quick outline of the major works planned for Sunday 28Sunday 21 May - Saturday 3 JuneSaturday 27 May . We’ll keep you posted on future works and have regular updates on local radio stations.
NOTE: Roadworks are dependent on weather and other factors. If bad weather should strike, work will be postponed to the next suitable night.
DRIVE TO THE CONDITIONS: If you’re being lashed by wild weather out there on the roads tonight, remember that slippery roads are dangerous as they can turn minor errors into major problems. We encourage everyone to drive to the conditions by dropping your speed, keeping your headlights on, and giving the vehicle in front plenty of space.
