Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
State Highway 29A closure later this week
The NZ Transport Agency advises that State
Highway 29A (SH29A) between the Baypark and Te Maunga
roundabouts in Tauranga will be closed from 8pm Friday, 14
December to 4am Monday, 17 December.
This is part of the Baypark to Bayfair (Bay Link) project and detours will be in place along Truman Lane and Mangatawa Link Road.
Motorists are urged to use alternative routes where possible or plan travel outside of these hours to avoid the detour.
The closure is needed to allow for stone column ground improvement works to be carried out in the area. This work is weather dependent, and if delayed, the work will be carried out on the next suitable day.
The Transport Agency thanks motorists for their patience and ongoing co-operation while construction of the Bay Link project continues.
