The journey to Whangamatā for Beach Hop this year should be smooth cruising with the majority of road maintenance works completed in the Coromandel. The event starts on Wednesday 26 March finishing up in Whangamatā on Sunday 30 March.
“Any ongoing work will be paused on the cruise route for Beach Hop week to minimise disruption,” says Andrew Brosnan, Journey Manager for NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) in the Waikato.
“Motorists can expect the roads to be busy with people heading to the event, and while the network has improved, there is still some ongoing work to repair damage caused by the extreme weather events of early 2023.
“Slow down, be patient and allow additional time for your journeys,” says Mr Brosnan.
“We wish Coromandel businesses, locals and visitors a very enjoyable Beach Hop and thank you all for your patience while we continue to improve the state highways in the region.”
For up-to-date information on road works, traffic, detours and delays, motorists are encouraged to visit the NZTA Journey Planner website before leaving home.
