A stretch of State Highways 3 and 3A in Taranaki will be under overnight stop/go traffic management for nearly two weeks as crews complete asphalt patch repairs.
Crews will be onsite at SH3 and SH3A in Inglewood from this Sunday 16 June to Thursday 27 June at night from 7pm to 6am.
Work will take place Sunday to Thursday. Work will not take place on Friday and Saturday nights.
The work is to repair patches of damaged pavement to improve the road surface and increase its longevity over the wetter winter months.
Following the repairs, crews will then return to the area during the summer months to complete a full reseal of the road to further waterproof the surface.
The work needs to be completed under stop/go traffic controls, because the road is too narrow for both lanes of traffic to travel around the large machinery safely.
Delays of approximately 5–10 minutes are expected as a result of the overnight work.
Crews will first repair patches on this section of SH3 before turning their attention to SH3A
Access to and from adjacent roads including Ngahere, Pukatea, Konini, Hinau, Kahikatea and Miro Streets may be impacted at times during the works, however alternative routes will be available.
Access to property within the sites, and access for emergency services, will be maintained.
