It was a busy morning on Northland's roads yesterday, with a logging truck crash just after 10am and roadworks delays over the Brynderwyns.
Resurfacing scheduled to take place on State Highway 1 over the Brynderwyn Hills overnight, and finish at 5am, was still delaying traffic until around 9am with stop/go controls in place.
"We would like to apologise to all those who faced unexpected delays on the Brynderwyn Hill this [Monday] morning," Kobus du Toit, system manager - maintenance and operations for Waka Kotahi Northland said.
"The overnight works were supposed to be done and cleared by 5am but unfortunately the job ran into overtime and the nature of the works meant they couldn't be paused."
Another four nights of asphalting work were expected to take place on the Brynderwyns this week, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, with stop/go controls in place from 7pm to 5am. They did not expect the work to run overtime again, du Toit said.
