State Highway 29A closures 22 to 25 March

State Highway 29A closures 22 to 25 March

State Highway 29A between the Baypark and Te Maunga roundabouts will be closed this weekend from 9pm Friday, 22 March to 4am Monday 25 March.

This is to allow for stone column ground improvement works to be carried out.

Detours will be in place along Truman Lane and Mangatawa Link Road.

Motorists are urged to use alternative routes where possible or plan travel outside of these hours to avoid the detour. This work is weather dependent, and if delayed will be carried out on the next suitable weekend(s).

The NZ Transport Agency would like to thank all road users for their patience and ongoing co-operation while construction of the Baypark to Bayfair Link project continues.

SH29A to Papamoa/Te Puke: detour from Baypark roundabout along Truman Lane, Mangatawa Link Road, cross Mangatawa Bridge, turn right onto SH2 TEL.
