New road layout on Tauranga’s Takitimu Drive overbridge
The NZ Transport Agency advises motorists that there will be a new road layout on State Highway 2A (SH2A) Takitimu Drive from this week.
From tomorrow, (Thursday August 28) the outside lanes of the Takitimu Drive overbridge will be closed to allow contractors to continue planned bridge abutment strengthening works.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction and a speed limit of 50km/h will be in place. Only the inside lane in each direction will be open.
The NZ Transport Agency’s Bay of
Plenty journey manager Nigel D’Ath said the work to repair
bridge expansion joints was expected to be completed by late
September and motorists using the area should expect delays
in the meantime.
“Motorists are urged to use
alternative routes if possible, especially during peak
times, ”he said.
The Transport Agency appreciates the
co-operation of Tauranga City Council and the patience of
road users while the work continues.
