Roadworks that are scheduled to start in the next week or are currently underway are also detailed below to help people plan ahead when travelling.
Works are weather dependent and may be postponed if necessary.
State Highway 5 south of Rotorua:
Motorists are advised to expect delays on State Highway 5 Tumunui as the road is down to one lane and speed restrictions are in place.
Engineers are closely monitoring two cracks which have appeared in the highway. Geotechnical investigations are being carried out to determine the cause of the problem. Drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes such as State Highway 1/State Highway 30 if possible.
Eastern Bay of Plenty:
Heavy rain in the Eastern Bay of Plenty has led to an increase in slips and flooding across the road network. Motorists are advised to drive with extra care and attention when travelling in the region, especially in these areas: State Highway 30 Rotorua lakes, State Highway 2 Matata Straights, State Highway 2 Waimana Gorge, State Highway 2 Waioeka Gorge and State Highway 35 North of Opotiki.
