Tauranga motorists are warned of roadworks affecting one of the city's busiest intersections this week.
The New Zealand Transport Agency said extra care will be needed around State Highway 2 Takitimu Drive late this week and next week while the roundabout at Elizabeth Street is resurfaced.
The work is expected
to be carried out from 7pm until 6am Sunday , Monday and Tuesday nights, weather permitting.
Elizabeth Street will be closed between Cameron Road and Takitimu Drive during this time. Detours will be in place and people should take extra care.
Takitimu Drive will remain open, but the number of westbound lanes will be reduced so people should expect some delays.
