Work is progressing well on the Cambridge Road East intersection of the Takitimu North Link project, between Tauriko and Bethlehem.

Access to St Andrews Drive via the Cambridge Road roundabout has been closed since Wednesday, June 5.

The closure is expected to be in place until late September, says a post on the NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi website.

"Works include relocating utility services, drainage, curbing and footpaths, retaining walls and raising the level of the roundabout to fit the new alignment.

"Take care when travelling in this area – this is still one of the biggest areas of construction on the project. Detours will be in place, please follow the signs.  More information about the Takitimu North Link project is available here."
