People travelling along State Highway 2 on Sunday are being warned to expect delays.

NZTA is planning to do tree felling works will take place on September 7, between 7am and 6pm, just north of Katikati.

“This work has been scheduled on a Sunday to minimise disruption to weekday traffic,” a statement from NZTA said.

“While this work is underway, for people’s safety, a reduced speed limit, shoulder closure and a combination of stop/go and stop/stop traffic management will be in place. Delays of up to 10 minutes may occur throughout the day.

“We appreciate people’s patience and understanding while these essential works are carried out.”

NZTA said in the event of bad weather or unforeseen circumstances, the work may be postponed.
