    Tonight sees the start of overnight road closures south-bound on State Highway 1. the Waikato Expressway, at Ohinewai


    That south-bound section of the express-way will close from 7pm until 7am tonight, tomorrow and Tuesday.

    This is to allow 8.5km of temporary steel barriers to be removed, to ensure the road is clear ahead of the busy holiday period.
