Roadworks on Hawke's Bay Expressway this month

Transit New Zealand advises motorists that it will be carrying out roadworks on the SH50 Hawke's Bay Expressway throughout the month of April.

Contractors will be reconstructing a section of the road pavement between Pakowhai Rd and Evenden Rd. The work will be carried out on one side of the road at a time, enabling two lanes of traffic to remain open throughout construction.

Construction is due to commence on Monday 7 April from 8.30am to 5pm daily. The site will be well signposted under a temporary speed restriction.

Minimal delays not expected to exceed ten minutes may be experienced on occasions during the construction period.

Transit regional manager Rob Bramley thanks the public for their patience for this necessary pavement reconstruction work and reminds motorists to drive through the work site with care to ensure the safety of contractors, other road users and themselves.

Work is expected to be completed by the end of April.
