Motorists heading into Rotorua on State Highway 30/Te Ngae Rd this morning experienced delays of more than half an hour due to road works.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is resealing the entire road between Rotoma and Rotorua as well as the road between Rotokawa and Rotorua.
A motorist spoken to by the Rotorua Daily Post said she was delayed by more than half an hour when driving into the city to work.
NZTA spokeswoman Natalie Dixon said work along the stretch of SH30 would be finished by 4pm today, before the peak afternoon traffic period.
"But we do have some of the same work underway on SH33 at the Sun Valley curves tomorrow and people travelling through should allow an extra 10 minutes," she said.
