The staging of two IronMaori events, today and tomorrow will mean detours and closures in the Pandora region of Napier, with motorists urged to drive with care and patience around the immediate area.
The IronMaori Tamariki event for younger competitors takes place today and the Half Ironman event tomorrow.
Pandora Rd, between Humber St and the Pandora Bridge, will be closed from approximately 7pm Friday to 6pm Saturday.
Motorists using the stretch of SH2B between the Meeanee Quay intersection and the Prebensen Drive roundabout will encounter speed restrictions and stop-go signalling resulting in minor delays.
Delays can also be expected on SH5 between Napier and Taupo as major work on Mohaka Bridge continues.
