Minor safety works are being carried out on State Highway 29, on the Waikato side of the Kaimai Range.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is advising motorists that work will get underway from the intersection of SH28 (Rapurapu Road) to the top of the Kaimai Range, starting tomorrow, subject to weather.

This work will be carried out at night from 9pm to 5am and two lanes will be maintained at all times. During these works, a temporary speed limit of 30km/h will be in place, says a spokesperson for the roading agency.

"Motorists are advised to 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/traffic]journeys.nzta.govt.nz) for the latest information on roadworks, traffic, road closures and detours to help plan your trip.

"This work is part of a programme to make regional state highways safer through a range of low-cost, high-benefit safety improvements. For more information visit our webpage: [nzta.govt.nz/safety-boost-programme]nzta.govt.nz/safety-boost-programme.

"Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience."
