Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises State Highway 2 Karangahake Gorge will be closed between 8pm and 5am on Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 February for road resurfacing.
Signage and cordons will be in place between Paeroa and Waihi.
Acting Waikato System Manager Rob Campbell says detours for this route are significant and encourages motorists to plan their travel for outside closure times, where possible.
“The southbound detour takes motorists south on SH2 from Waihi to Tauranga, then onto State Highway 29 over the Kaimai Range, State Highway 24 to Matamata, State Highway 27 to Tatuanui and State Highway 26 to Paeroa. Motorists travelling from Paeroa take the same route, in the opposite direction.
“Northbound, motorists travelling from Waihi should take State Highway 25, turning onto State Highway 25A (Kopu-Hikuai Road) and then State Highway 26 between Kopu and Paeroa, with motorists travelling from Paeroa taking the same route, in reverse.”
These works follow overnight closures for slip repair works earlier this month and form part of the Transport Agency’s largest maintenance programme for the past decade.
The Transport Agency thanks motorists for their patience.
