Motorists are being warned to expect slight delays around Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.

Ongoing works around the city means contractors are having to shut down certain roads.

See below to see what closures are happening where and how your travels will be affected.

City centre

• Spring Street: access is open through Spring Street from Grey Street and Durham Street. However, there is still work happening at the Durham Street/Spring Street intersection for the next few months – so there are only left turns available at this intersection from Spring Street. There continues to be no through access from Cameron Road to Durham Street on Spring Street.
• Durham Street: Durham Street remains a one-way street from Spring Street to Elizabeth Street. Please respect the signage and directions of the traffic controllers on site for everyone's safety. All businesses on Durham Street are open as usual.

Beyond the city centre

• Greerton Village: significant traffic safety and streetscape improvements are underway. Works will last until December. Every effort is being made to keep traffic and parking disruption to a minimum.
• Kennedy Road (between Pyes Pa Road and Mortlake Heights): the through-road is closed to the public due to major upgrading works. The works are due for completion in October.
• Mortlake Heights extension (formerly part of Kennedy Road): upgrading of the road in preparation for the opening of a new primary school. Construction works are due for completion in October.
• Pyes Pa Road (Kennedy Road intersection): construction of a shared pathway. The works are due for completion in late August.
