newy.com.au – Drivers travelling through Rutherford are being urged to plan ahead, with overnight roadworks scheduled on the New England Highway expected to disrupt traffic later this week.

Crews will be undertaking crucial asphalt patching between Dunkley and Arthur streets on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 June, with work taking place between 6pm and 6am, weather permitting. The maintenance, which affects both directions of the highway, is part of ongoing efforts to keep the busy thoroughfare in safe working order.

To protect workers and road users, a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h will be in effect throughout the work zone, and traffic controllers will be on-site to manage the flow. Drivers should anticipate delays of up to five minutes and are encouraged to follow signage and detours as directed.
