Auckland motorists have been asked to be patient as major upgrade projects start on both the Southern and Northwestern motorways this weekend, causing closures on both routes.
The Great North Rd on-ramp to the Northwestern Motorway, westbound, will be closed from 8pm today until 5am Monday.
The on-ramp will be moved slightly to the south to create working space for motorway upgrade work.
Drivers are advised to use alternative routes, and diversions will be signposted to St Lukes and Patiki Rd, where bus services will be re-routed.
City-bound drivers will not be affected, and the northwestern cycleway remains open.
