Cameron Road will be reduced to one-way traffic this weekend between 4th Ave and 5th Ave near Tauranga Primary School for work on wastewater upgrades.

This work is the part of the Building our future – Cameron Road, Te Papa project and takes effect from 6am Saturday, September 9, to 6pm Sunday, September 10, (weather dependent), says a Tauranga City Council spokesperson.

Traffic heading south (away from the city) will be redirected along 4th Ave to Devonport Road before re-joining Cameron Road at 5th Ave (east) or 6th Ave (east).

Access to 5th Ave (east) will be maintained via Devonport Road, and will be exit only on to Cameron Road, says the council.

Arundel Street will be closed at the Cameron Road intersection. Access to Arundel Street via Devonport Road will be reserved for residents and businesses only.

Pedestrian and cyclist access, and access to properties in the area will be maintained.

Buses will also follow the detours, and bus stops within the closure area will be marked as closed.

"The wastewater upgrade work is weather dependent and if not completed between 6am Saturday, September 9, to 6pm Sunday, September 10, work will take place during an upcoming weekend with the same detours in place. This work was postponed from August due to wet weather."
