A detour will be in place for all traffic in both directions via State Highway 34 through Kawerau and then rejoining SH30. This detour is expected to add up to 10 minutes to journey times. 

Work on the Tarawera River bridge walkway will be put on hold for the day to allow the detoured traffic to travel through Kawerau. 

NZTA thanks people for their patience while this important maintenance work is carried out.
