Motorist who use the State Highway 29/29A roundabout in Tauriko are being warned to watch out for roadworks.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises that resurfacing work will take place in the area this Thursday, April 29.

"Works will be undertaken at night to minimise disruption to motorists," says a spokesperson for the roading agency.

"The works are scheduled to take place between 6pm and 6am.

"It is anticipated that the road will be fully open to traffic on Friday, April 30, at 6am."

During these works, a lane closure will be in place with a 30km/h temporary speed limit.

These works are part of the Waka Kotahi road maintenance programme, which will see repairs and reseals on state highways across the Bay of Plenty to ensure the safety and resilience of the state highway network.

"Please take extra care, reduce your speed and follow directions of traffic management staff and signage.

"In the event of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, work may be postponed. Visit the interactive Waka Kotahi Journey Planner website (journeys.nzta.govt.nz) for the latest information on roadworks, traffic, road closures and detours to help plan your trip.

"Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience."
