Motorists planning on using State Highway 2 between Napier and Wairoa this Saturday are being advised to plan for a road closure.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said the road would be closed around the section near the Devil’s Elbow to allow contractors to complete road repair works that couldn’t be completed last month due to the weather.
The road will shut from 7am and 6pm, and NZTA asks motorists to plan-ahead and schedule travel for outside the closure period.
