Motorists who use State Highway 5 Old Taupo Rd have been warned to expect delays while resurfacing work is carried out on the road on Saturday.
The resurfacing is being carried out at three sites between Hillcrest Rd and Springfield Rd.
The NZ Transport Agency says detours will be in place but people should avoid the area or expect delays.
If the weather isn't ideal on Saturday the work could be carried out Sunday.
