Works on Cambridge section of Waikato Expressway

Crews have returned to reseal the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway this week.

This work was originally scheduled for the week of Monday 31 March but was disrupted by poor weather after completing 1 of 4 sites. Crews will focus on an 8km north bound section of pavement repair between the Tamahere Interchange and the Victoria Road Interchange, requiring 24-hour closure of the left lane. The lane will remain closed until Friday 11 April when it will reopen under temporary traffic management with a reduced speed limit. Motorists can expect delays of up to 20 minutes, and up to 30 minutes at peak travel times during this work. Contractors then plan to return to complete the remaining sections, including 1 north and 1 south bound lane site, next Monday 14 April – Wednesday 16 April (weather permitting), ahead of Easter.
