Resurfacing of a stretch of the Napier-Hastings Expressway will be carried out at night to keep travel disruption to a minimum.
The work will be carried out this week between 6pm and 6am in the area of the Kennedy Rd overbridge through to the Taradale Rd roundabout.
"The high traffic volumes through this section makes this work extremely difficult to undertake during the day," NZ Transport Agency journey manager Hawke's Bay Oliver Postings said.
"Hence why night-time work is the prime option."
Due to the nature of the project the expressway will be down to a single lane at times while crews are at work.
