TEL night closures

The closures are expected to start from tonight.

There is disruption ahead for users of the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Rd.

Over two or possibly three nights this month, there will be night time closures in one direction at a time.

The closures will be between 8pm and 6am starting on November 4.

The work is part of the Rangiuru Business Park Interchange project.

The closures are required to ensure the safety of contractors and the travelling public during the removal of temporary steel barriers and repair of the road surface.

Detour route for the TEL traffic during next month’s lane closures.

The TEL will remain one lane in both directions as work progresses on the Ranigiuru Business Park Interchange entry and exit ramps and the cycle path. Barriers in this area will be replaced by safety hit sticks and cones until the work is complete.

What to expect:

November 4: TEL westbound lane closed between 8pm and 6am with a detour starting at the Domain Rd Interchange, joining the Te Puke Highway, through Te Puke to the SH2/SH33 Paengaroa roundabout.

November 5: TEL eastbound lane closed between 8pm and 6am with a detour route starting at the SH2/SH33 Paengaroa roundabout joining the Te Puke Highway, through Te Puke to the Domain Rd Interchange.

November 6 is a contingency day, which may be required if work hasn’t been completed on either lane.

Outside the closure times, the current temporary traffic management remains, with a single lane open in each direction and a temporary speed limit of 70km/h.
