Tauranga City Council has had to adapt work plans for the upgrade of the intersection of Links Avenue, Concord Avenue and Farm Street in Arataki. Work on two small roundabouts, several shared crossings and widened footpaths is currently underway on this intersection. The aim is to lower speed and make it safer for people to travel through this area.
After the kick-off of the project at the beginning of January, additional underground services require relocating and extra construction works are now needed following road-testing results. To ensure the project is completed before the school term starts on Monday 3 February road closures will be in place 24 hours per day from Monday 20 January. Detours will be signposted.
Also, weekend and evening works are being introduced to enable the contractor to get more work done within the same timeframe. Evening work will finish each night no later than 10pm. Noise levels will be minimised as much as possible.
Martin Parkes, Manager: Network Safety and Sustainability: “We are committed to delivering this important safety project before schools start again. That’s why we have had to make some changes to the original plan in order to prevent more disturbance. We apologise for the ongoing inconvenience this causes for residents and for people travelling through the area while we work on the completion of this much-anticipated project.”
Council advises people who use the bus in this area to look at the Bay Bus website for up to date information on the affected services: www.baybus.co.nz.
Local residents will have access to their properties at all times. The road closures to general traffic are as follows:
