Tauranga Eastern Link - Repairs continue on on State Highway 2
Tauranga Eastern Link - repairs continue on State Highway 2 between Bruce Road and Domain Road, Papamoa
Motorists travelling on State Highway 2 (SH2), between Domain Road intersection and Bruce Road, Papamoa are advised a 30km/h speed restriction and a manual stop/go will be in place on Wednesday evening from 6.30pm until 6.00am on Thursday morning, whilst repairs continue to be carried out on the road surface.
As part of the NZ Transport Agency’s (NZTA) Tauranga Eastern Link project, pre-load material (sand) is being laid adjacent to the highway to compact the ground beneath, to provide a firm base on which the new road will be constructed.
NZTA’s Bay of Plenty State Highway Manager, Brett Gliddon, says that more repair work is needed on SH2 over the next couple of weeks to continue to repair damage caused by the weight and settlement of the pre-load.
“The repairs are important to ensure the state highway operates efficiently and it is anticipated that some cracking to sections of this road surface may continue to occur until the pre-load is removed in approximately 12 months’ time.”
Motorists are advised to plan their journey ahead of time, and to take extra care, as delays are to be expected while driving through this area.
The NZTA thanks motorists in advance for their continued patience and assistance while this work is being undertaken.
