Night-time roadworks are planned for Hastings River Drive in Port Macquarie as authorities carry out resurfacing work to improve the condition and safety of the important local road. The works are among the latest infrastructure activities reported for the Port Macquarie-Hastings area on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.

The project is expected to involve road crews working after normal daytime traffic periods, helping reduce disruption for motorists while sections of the road are resurfaced. Drivers travelling through the area at night may experience temporary traffic changes, reduced speeds and possible delays while crews and machinery operate on the roadway.

Hastings River Drive is an important transport route for the Port Macquarie community, connecting residential areas and providing access toward surrounding parts of the Hastings region. Maintaining the road surface is important for motorists, particularly during wet weather when damaged or uneven surfaces can become more difficult to navigate.

Motorists are being encouraged to slow down near work zones, follow temporary signs and directions from traffic controllers, and allow additional travel time where necessary. Drivers should also be prepared for changed lane arrangements or short-term traffic controls while resurfacing crews complete their work.

The night-time schedule is designed to allow infrastructure improvements to proceed while limiting the impact on daytime traffic. However, road users are still advised to remain alert because construction vehicles and workers may be present close to live traffic.

The latest update comes as Port Macquarie-Hastings continues to see infrastructure and community projects across the region. Residents who regularly use Hastings River Drive should monitor local updates for information about specific work times and any changes to traffic arrangements.

Further details about the duration and exact locations of the resurfacing work may be provided as the project progresses.
