The NZ Transport Agency is recommending heavy vehicles avoid the Matamata area during the works.
The detours will be in place day and night from 24 January until approximately 10 February to ensure major resurfacing works are not compromised.
Contractor Transfield Services, now called Broad Spectrum, is to repair the road surface on Broadway from the SH27 roundabout to the Burwood Road roundabout, starting with pre-works from 11 January and then night works from 24 January until approximately 10 February on the northern section to Miro Street.
Works up to the Burwood Road intersection will be done during the day but will not require detours. See the flyer for further information.
The Transport Agency encourages heavy vehicles avoid the Matamata area (by using SH1 and 29 for instance) and those trucks approaching the town from the north and south will be detoured off Broadway.
Detours will be well sign-posted and a traffic controller will be at each end to assist. If trucks need to get in and out of the town for pick-ups and deliveries there are options available.
The detour routes for trucks include Burwood Road-SH27 and Tower Road-Rawhiti Avenue-SH27. See the map.
The Transport Agency and Broad Spectrum thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while we do this important work.
