NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) advises State Highway 11 will be closed overnight between Ward Drive and Broadview Road in Opua for road resurfacing on Sunday 17 November.

The closure will be in place between 9.30pm and 5am. The detour route for those traveling from Opua to Paihia will be via SH11 to Kawakawa, State Highway 1, State Highway 10 and SH 11 (reverse for travel from Paihia).

The detour is significant and expected to add approximately 35 minutes to a journey between Opua and Paihia.

Those on the last ferry, which arrives at Opua at approximately 10.00pm, will be accommodated through the site.

Access for residents and emergency services will be maintained throughout the works.

This work is weather dependent and in the case of unsuitable weather, will be deferred to the next suitable day. Please visit the NZTA Journey Planner website (journeys.nzta.govt.nz(external link)) for up-to-date information on these works, including any changes due to weather.
