State Highway 1 night-time traffic will be detoured at Tamahere in the first two weeks of May as work continues on the Hamilton section of the Waikato Expressway.
May 1 to 6: SH1-Tamahere, full closure north and south between SH26-Hillcrest roundabout to SH21-Tamahere interchange, from 7pm-6am.
Detours from the north
are via SH26 and SH1B to Cambridge, and from the south are SH21 and SH3. Local property access will be maintained at all times.
May 8 to 13: Tamahere south-bound closure, times and detours as above.
The closures are needed for pavement construction and line marking leading up to the mid-year project completion and are likely to be the last detours required.
The May works will see traffic split from the current shared Cambridge Road Bridge and running on the final layout.
