Roadworks across two areas of SH2 at Bay View will mean delays for motorists — with possibly up to 10 minutes impact on travel times.
Contractors will be carrying out a two-day programme of road surface repairs near the township, with traffic management signs being set up on the approaches.
Between 9am and 3pm stop-go signalling will be operating and speed restrictions will be in place.
New Zealand Transport Agency spokesman Oliver Postings said delays were inevitable at times.
There would also be delays on the roadway between Bay View and Hawke's Bay Airport as the extensive passing lane construction project continues.
