The rail crossing on Te Kowhai East Rd, between Te Rapa Rd and Tasman Rd, will be closed to all traffic on Good Friday, March 29 between 7.30am and 7.30pm.
Repair work will be carried out on the crossing and new asphalt laid that will make it smoother for all traffic.
The timing of the work has been chosen to cause the least disruption with The Base shopping centre closed on Good Friday along with most other businesses in the area.
Warning signs will be in place in the days leading up to the closure. Motorists are advised to take alternative routes such as Te Rapa Rd or the Waikato Expressway and Avalon Dr.
Residents on this stretch of Te Kowhai East Rd should use Tasman Rd and Foreman Rd to access the main routes.
