A number of road closures are affecting traffic flow in and around Tauranga's CBD.

Cameron Road, from Harington Street to Elizabeth Street, is down to one lane as council contractors work to replace 3km of sewer pipes.

Tauranga City Council expects the works to take up to three months to complete. Read more here.

In addition to the Cameron Road works, the west bound lane of Elizabeth Street is closed.

A Tauranga City Council spokesperson says the road is closed for west bound traffic between Devonport Road and Grey Street roundabout. The closure is expected to be in place until about March 2022.

'The lane closure is to enable streetscape works and Farmers construction to occur simultaneously,” the council says in a statement released this week.

'The lane (including the loading zone) between the old Coffee Club and Baywatch On Time will remain open.

'Businesses and footpaths are accessible during works. On-street carparking will be unavailable.”

See below for additional works taking place around the city.

Elizabeth Street: works to upgrade water and wastewater pipes are almost complete on Elizabeth Street between The Strand and Cameron Road with some road closures at night between 8.30pm and 6am.
