Delays likely for Kapiti motorists
Motorists can expect delays next week as the NZ Transport Agency carries out resurfacing on the Mackays to Peka Peka (M2PP) Expressway.
Final resurfacing work is expected to be completed by the end of summer, meaning motorists will soon be able to experience a smooth and improved surface over the entire length of the expressway.
The works are a continuation of the M2PP Expressway resurfacing works from earlier in the year, which were paused due to the Covid-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown, and then over the winter months when ground conditions were too cold.
NZTA says with the weather improving, crews are preparing to restart from the week of Monday 7 September. Work is weather dependent.
Resurfacing works will be carried out from 7am-7pm. One lane will be closed within the worksite area and the speed limit will be 30km/h. During the evening, and when worksites are unattended, the speed limit will be 70km/h.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
