Information about roadworks in the Wairarapa region
Well maintained roads are an important part of keeping people safe. While we aim to do this work with as little disruption as possible, we know that roadworks can be inconvenient. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we do this important work.
Please drive carefully through work sites and stick to the temporary speed limits. If you’re driving around the Wairarapa, roadworks on the state highway network may affect your travel plans.
Below is a quick outline of the major works planned for the coming week from 25 September 2016 . We’ll keep you posted on future works and have regular updates on local radio stations.
