State Highway 1 night-time traffic will be detoured around Tamahere south of Hamilton next week for tie-in works for the Hamilton section of the Waikato Expressway, which opens in July.
The night-time closures and detours are on Monday and Tuesday, May 30 and 31 from 7pm to 6am, with a
weather contingency of Wednesday, June 1.
The closure is to complete some of the final surfacing, signage, line-marking and barrier removal, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said.
The detour routes include the state highway network of SH26 and SH1B and wider routes SH2/27, SH3 and SH21.
Local property access will be maintained past the detour cordons, including to Newell Rd from the north and SH21-Airport Rd from the south. All through traffic will be detoured off SH1 at the Hillcrest SH26 roundabout and at the SH21 interchange.
