Tauranga City Council will reopen Hamilton Street while construction works on the Harington Street Transport Hub site are paused.

As council previously stated in a media release on 19 August 2019, construction work has been paused until detailed design issues have been dealt with to council's expectation.

We expect that work on site will be on hold for approximately two to three months. During this time, council will reopen Hamilton Street – starting from Thursday, 12 September.

At this stage we don't intend to reopen Harington Street, or its footpath, as the area is being used for storage of equipment, building materials and machinery.

Cleaning of Hamilton Street and removal of the fencing will take place over the next couple of days in preparation for the reopening.
