A stretch of State Highway 25 on the Coromandel will be closed twice later this month to allow contractors to resurface the approaches to the Hikuai Bridge.

The NZ Transport Agency says the closures will take place in 45 minute intervals on the night of Sunday, April 19.

The first closure will be between 11pm and 11.45pm, followed by a second closure from 1.30am until 2.15am.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys to avoid these closure times as no alternative route is available.

The agency apologises for any inconvenience and thanks motorists for their patience.
