Speed restrictions and stop/go signalling will be in place.

Also on SH2, around the Mohaka Hill region, Pan Pac forestry crews are carrying out occasional roadside tree felling, which will continue through to the end of the year.

Speed restrictions and stop/go marshalls will be in place at times of felling.

A guardrail project is being carried out between the Devils Elbow and Awamate through until the end of the month and slight delays can be expected.

On SH2 south, between Napier and Dannevirke, there are various work sites between Clive and Hastings, where cycleway improvements and sewer main work is being carried out, with speed restrictions in place.

Various maintenance programmes are also under way at various sites between Pakipaki and Te Hauke, and on Takapau Rd, 1.5km west of Waipukurau.
