UPDATE 13 January: Resurfacing work for State Highway 2 Masterton to Carterton will begin this Sunday, 19 January, weather permitting.
It will require night-time closures from Sunday, 19 January to Thursday, 23 January between 9 pm and 4:30 am.
Road users can expect delays on the route from 7 pm when traffic management is put in place.
These works have been previously delayed due to cold ground temperatures. If ground temperatures go below 15 degrees, these works may be further postponed.
State Highway 2 traffic will need to detour via detour via Cornwall Road and Hughes Line. Residents in the works areas will retain access to their properties.
A 50 km/h temporary speed limit will be in place on the detour route.
The highway will be open in both directions during the day. However, a temporary speed limit of 30 km/h will be in place for up to five days after the resurfacing works. It is essential drivers follow this speed limit as it helps prevent damage to the road and to vehicles.
