We'll pause all roadworks on state highways for the Christmas and New Year period, with roadworkers shutting down sites from midday Friday 19 December. They'll be back working from Monday 5 January 2026.

They have a big summer ahead of them – January and February tend to be our biggest months for road rebuilding and resealing, as we make the most of the warm, dry weather.

Thank you to every roadworker across the country – we love your work. Here’s to a safe and merry Christmas / New Year period across the state highways.

When you see roadworkers out on the road, travel safely through their worksites, follow signage and any instructions you receive, and give them a wave to say thanks for their tremendous work. Remember to keep your eyes on the road while you're travelling through worksites this summer.

Look at this guy! A well deserved recognition for a committed and passionate guy. Warren Turner is one of a kind. We think he’s awesome every day of the week!

This week’s Roadworker of the Week is Warren, a Site Traffic Management Specialist for Inframax based in the Ruapehu District.

Warren leads the set-up, monitoring, and pack-down of temporary traffic management (TTM) sites, ensuring the right number of cones and signs are present to provide a safe worksite while keeping people moving. His role requires him to have good relationships, working well with the team that's completing physical works within his worksite. He ensures they all stay safe while the job gets done.

On any given day requirements can change depending on a variety of factors such as weather or progress on site. Warren takes this all in his stride, keeping a positive attitude and believing that no matte what happens the most important thing is people get to go home safe at the end of the day.

Warren has worked hard while at Inframax, embracing training opportunities that have come his way, enabling him to learn skills that help him with both his work and his home lives.

Nominated by his manager Jason, Warren is described as an all-round decent bloke who makes his team proud every day, being a living and breathing example of safety to his team mates and the general public.

Thanks to Warren and the team for keeping everyone safe on the roads. When you see roadworkers out on the road, travel safely through their worksites, follow signage and any instructions you receive from workers on site, and give them a wave to say thanks for their tremendous work.

Take care out there team - low key excited for 🌧️ but remember to drive to the conditions.

Take extra care as you're travelling with wet weather on its way.

After the good weather we've been having, rain can make roads extremely slippery due to the build-up of dust, dirt, and oil on the road.

MetService New Zealand forecasts heavy rain on its way that'll last until late Friday afternoon.

Just like with black ice in winter, the road may be slippery even if it doesn't look any different than usual.

You need to travel to the conditions: Be extra careful on curves and when you're braking and steering, increase your following distance to people ahead of you, and turn your headlights on dipped if your wipers are on.

Heavy rain also increases the risks of slips and flooding. Check our page or our website for the latest on state highway road conditions: https://journeys.nzta.govt.nz/
