Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has announced various roadwork projects across New Zealand, primarily affecting the Wellington and Dunedin regions.

In the Wellington area, scheduled works include overnight lane closures on State Highway 2 between Ngauranga and Petone, as well as safety improvements and traffic controls on State Highway 58. Specific closures are planned for the Haywards Interchange and bridge maintenance on Transmission Gully. Further disruptions are expected on State Highway 58 over Haywards Hill, which will close in both directions from November 1 to November 6, requiring drivers to use SH2 and SH1 as diversions.

In Dunedin, resurfacing work on State Highway 1 on Cumberland Street is scheduled to begin on November 8. This project will involve nightly closures from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am through November 12, accompanied by a daytime speed limit of 30km/h and diversions affecting access to the New World City Centre supermarket.
