Delays likely for Kapiti motorists
Motorists can expect delays next week as the NZ Transport Agency carries out resurfacing on the Mackays to Peka Peka (M2PP) Expressway.
Final resurfacing work is expected to be completed by the end of summer, meaning motorists will soon be able to experience a smooth and improved surface over the entire length of the expressway.
The works are a continuation of the M2PP Expressway resurfacing works from earlier in the year, which were paused due to the Covid-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown, and then over the winter months when ground conditions were too cold.
NZTA says with the weather improving, crews are preparing to restart from the week of Monday 7 September. Work is weather dependent.
Resurfacing works will be carried out from 7am-7pm. One lane will be closed within the worksite area and the speed limit will be 30km/h. During the evening, and when worksites are unattended, the speed limit will be 70km/h.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
