Lower North Island/Upper South Island - Planned State Highway Roadworks And Waitangi Weekend Advice
Friday, 3 February 2023, 2:46 pm 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
