NZTA's Bay of Plenty state highway manager Brett Gliddon says the NZTA and their contractors are progressing well with their annual resurfacing works around the Bay of Plenty, thanks to the continued good weather.

This work is weather dependant so if it is wet on the programmed days then this resurfacing work will be moved to the following weekend.
