The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) advises motorists of expected delays on State Highway 1 (SH1) due to roadworks in the Whangarei District, Northland. Contractors will be rebuilding the southbound left lane between Flyger Road and Prescott Road from Monday, February 10.
The project will involve approximately 4 weeks of daytime work, followed by 2 weeks of nighttime work, with an expected completion date of Friday, March 21.
During this period:
- The passing lane will be closed, and a 50km/h temporary speed limit will be in place 24/7.
- Daytime work will maintain traffic flow in both directions, with brief periods of stop/go to allow for equipment movement and site setup/pack-down.
- Nighttime work will operate under stop/go traffic management.
Motorists are encouraged to plan for potential delays and to follow all temporary road signage and instructions from traffic management personnel.
For town-based crew, please ensure that the above is taken into consideration when planning to come in for shipping.
