Delays likely for Kapiti motorists
Motorists can expect delays next week as the NZ Transport Agency carries out resurfacing on the Mackays to Peka Peka (M2PP) Expressway.
Final resurfacing work is expected to be completed by the end of summer, meaning motorists will soon be able to experience a smooth and improved surface over the entire length of the expressway.
The works are a continuation of the M2PP Expressway resurfacing works from earlier in the year, which were paused due to the Covid-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown, and then over the winter months when ground conditions were too cold.
NZTA says with the weather improving, crews are preparing to restart from the week of Monday 7 September. Work is weather dependent.
Resurfacing works will be carried out from 7am-7pm. One lane will be closed within the worksite area and the speed limit will be 30km/h. During the evening, and when worksites are unattended, the speed limit will be 70km/h.
