NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising road users travelling on State Highway 2 (SH2) between Waipawa and Takapau in Central Hawke’s Bay to expect some delays day and night as the summer renewals programme focusses on this part of the region.
SH2 resealing between Waipukurau and Takapau – day work
Starting this week, a stretch of SH2 between Takapau and Waipukurau will be resealed over the next 6 weeks.
Crews will be working onsite Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm each weekday.
The road will be under stop/go traffic management and road users are encouraged to plan for possible delays of up to 20 minutes. Outside of the work hours, temporary speed limits will be in place.
SH2 road rebuild in Waipawa – night works begin next week
The road rebuild project between Victoria Street and Tamumu Road, just north of the Waipawa township is progressing.
The first stage of the road rebuild project, the kerb and channel, was completed last week.
The second stage, the road rebuild, is starting on Monday 17 February. Working at night between 8pm and 5am Mondays to Fridays, crews will rebuild the road section by section.
On Monday crews will start with section 2 at the Victoria St end of the worksite, working up to Tamumu Road. See the map included.
Stop/go traffic management will be in place during the night works with possible delays of up to 20 minutes. Road users are encouraged to plan ahead using Journey Planner.

This work is happening at night to reduce daytime disruption and complete the job faster.
NZTA appreciates the work will cause delays and is confident resealing this stretch of road will improve its resilience, safety and ultimately efficiency of travel for everyone who uses it.
