New Zealand Transport Agency says work on the northbound lane from Victoria Rd interchange in Cambridge to Tamahere proved the most challenging in terms of traffic management on Waikato Expressway ever. NZTA mitigated it through minimising rolling road blocks at peak times and setting up lane closures in sections.

This week road users experienced some delays while NZTA sprayed emulsion behind a rolling block to avoid the risk of vehicles being damaged.
Sealing took place on Monday and the sealing bedded in with rollers yesterday. It opened at 70km/hr today. Delays are generally around 20 minutes, 30 minutes at peak.
There will be no works over Easter and Anzac while temporary speed limits should be removed.
Following the chipseal work, Fulton Hogan will return to carry out further asphalting in May as part of their scheduled maintenance programme.
