Tree felling, bridge work and surface water-blasting along stretches of SH5 between Napier and Taupo this week could mean delays which may impact travel times by up to 15 minutes.
Contractors are setting to work on a re-surfacing of the Lucky Hill Bridge just north of Eskdale, with New Zealand Transport Agency journey manager Oliver Postings advising there will be delays.
"As this is a tight and constrained site we will need to implement a single lane and stop-go (signalling)."
"There will be delays so please be patient."
Stop-go signalling will also be in place at the site of tree removal work around Te Pohue.
