SH29 westbound (towards Hamilton) lane closure – Tauriko Enabling Work
To allow for significant stormwater and underground service upgrades a short section of the westbound (towards Hamilton) lane of SH29, between the SH29/SH36 roundabout and Cambridge Road, will be closed 24/7 from 6pm, Wednesday 8 April to 6am, Monday 13 April. Westbound traffic will detour via SH36, Paraone Koikoi Drive, Matakokiri Drive and Kaweroa Drive (see map), adding approximately 5 minutes to Hamilton-bound traffic and 8 minutes to Tauriko Village/Cambridge Road traffic.
During this time, there will be no right turn into Cambridge Road from SH29 with left in access only using the detour. Right turns out will remain.
These works are scheduled during the school holidays to help reduce disruption and crews will work 24/7 to complete the job as quickly as possible. The second stage of works will see the installation of new stormwater pipes and catchpits, with shoulder closures and lane shifts in place from mid-April.
