A 4km section of Auckland's Northern Motorway will be closed five nights a week for the next four months, starting this Sunday.
The New Zealand Transport Agency says the motorway will be closed between Upper Harbour Highway/ Constellation Drive and Oteha Valley Rd from Sunday to Thursday between 9pm and 5am.
NZTA advises motorists to plan ahead and allow more time if travelling at night on the Northern Motorway in coming months.

The night time closures will allow crews to start preparations for the Northern Corridor Improvements (NCI) project, due to get under way later this year.
The crews will be resurfacing the motorway, painting new line markings and relocating the median barriers and overhead gantry boards, says the agency's senior manager project delivery Chris Hunt.
The repainted lanes will be narrower, so as the work progresses along the 4km stretch of motorway the speed limit will be reduced to 80km/h.
