The work will take place in the Mangorewa Gorge, approximately 1–2km south of Te Matai Rd. The recommended detour route is via The Tauranga Eastern Link and State Highway 33 or the Te Puke Highway (a free route) and State Highway 33.
The closure is scheduled each night from Sunday 30 September to Friday 5 October 2018 for the hours of 8pm to 5am each night. The Friday 5 October closure is expected to end at 5am.
NZTA Bay of Plenty Transport System Manager, Rob Campbell, says this essential work will strengthen the road and provide a safe surface for all users in this windy and steep environment. He says the agency would like to thank people in advance for their patience. The work is weather dependent and may need to be moved to another date.
People can stay up to date by checking the NZTA website, social media or by calling 0800 4 HIGHWAYS.
