Construction of a new interchange over the Tauranga Eastern Link will see Pāpāmoa East connected to the motorway and enable further development of the area.
Preliminary works for the construction of the interchange are progressing well, with a third of the work included in the first phase of the project completed.
Earthworks will continue over the next few months to build the necessary height on the Bell Road side of the Tauranga Eastern Link, with a two-week break occurring over Christmas from Friday,December 23, 2022, until Monday, January 9, 2023.
"Traffic management will remain in place until April 2023. Both eastbound lanes are open and one of the westbound lanes remains closed with a speed limit for traffic headed towards Tauranga set to 70km/h," says a Tauranga City Council spokesperson.
The outer westbound lane will remain closed until April 2023, to allow earthworks on the Bell Road side of the TEL to occur safely.
"We appreciate drivers' patience with these works and urge people to keep to the signposted speed limits for everyone's safety.
"There may be minor traffic delays because of this work. As this does not materially impact travel times, tolls will continue to apply."
