Meeanee Overbridge opens
to northbound traffic
Transit New Zealand will open the new SH50 Meeanee Overbridge to northbound traffic on Tuesday 23 October.
Project manager Mike Wong says motorists travelling north towards Napier on the SH50 Hawke's Bay Expressway should use the overbridge instead of travelling through the existing intersection at Meeanee Road. Expressway traffic heading to Taradale or Meeanee should exit at the new southern offramp and turn left or right at the new roundabout at Meeanee Road.
The Meeanee Overbridge has been built as part of the Meeanee Road Interchange Upgrade, which is scheduled for completion in December following two years of construction. Mr Wong says the project will improve safety and reduce congestion by separating SH50 Hawke's Bay Expressway traffic from local traffic using Meeanee Road.
The bridge will be fully
opened to both northbound and southbound traffic in early
November.
Transit thanks motorists for their patience as
they get used to the new road
layout.
