Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says tree felling works will take place on State Highway 2 this weekend at the SH2/Youngson Rd intersection, near Ōmokoroa.
These works will be undertaken on Saturday between 6am and 1pm for the felling and removal of trees that are close to powerlines.
The statement
from NZTA said works would be carried out at the weekend to minimise the impacts on traffic, however delays were expected.
Bay of Plenty system manager Rob Campbell acknowledged the delays were longer than expected last time tree felling work was carried out on this section of road on a Saturday morning.
"We assessed whether carrying out the work in the afternoon would be better, however, the difference in traffic volumes was marginal throughout the day," he said.
