The Mangapouri stream bridge on State Highway 36 - the Tauranga Direct Road - will be closed overnight on Sunday (April 19), says the NZ Transport Agency.
The bridge, a single lane span on the Rotorua side, will be closed to all traffic from 9pm on Sunday until 5am on Monday morning.

The closure is to allow contractors to carry out work on the approaches.
People wishing to travel between Rotorua and Tauranga during this period are advised to use SH5 and SH29 over the Kaimai Range or Hamurana Road, or SH33 and SH2 through Te Puke.
The alternative routes will add around 20 minutes to normal travel time. The work is weather dependent and will be postponed to May 3, if necessary.

Here's a single lane bridge in your area that you and your mate JK can change to a two laner. God knows there's enough traffic over Pyes Pa road to and from Rotorua to warrant the up grade....Oh wait....There's no by election going on here.... so that ain't gonna happen. Wonder if Northland are still getting their bridges done since National was blown out of the water.???
