State highway maintenance and recovery work (NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi)

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi contractors regularly carry out chip sealing and asphalt surfacing across the Waikato, alongside the larger infrastructure projects. This contributes to improving the condition of the state highway network, resulting in smoother journeys for everyone.

Work has been planned to minimise delays, but given the volume of work, there are parts of the network where people may experience some sort of disruption. It’s important to factor in extra time to your journey, to ensure you arrive on time to your destination.

The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi Journey Planner (journeys.nzta.govt.nz) is the best place for information on the status of the state highway network. With live updates on worksites and other road hazards, Journey Planner can help road users plot the best route to their destination.
