There are currently no significant delays.
Scheduled road works between Waiouru and Tūrangi have resulted in closure of part of Desert Road. This is not currently impacting deliveries, however these works are set to continue until mid-March. We have implemented contingency plans to keep items moving and will continue to monitor this closely.
This page is updated as the situation changes, which may not be daily.
