Transportation projects

We’re upgrading Maranui Street, between Sunrise Avenue and Sandhurst Drive, to make it safer and easier to get around. 

Our city is growing fast. The Fifteenth Avenue, Turret Road and Welcome Bay Road route links many communities and is going to become increasingly important as our city grows.

Construction of a new interchange over the Tauranga Eastern Link will see Pāpāmoa East connected to the motorway and enable further development of the area.

We’re making Maunganui Road safer and more attractive.

Wider footpaths, greener spaces and one-way streets are among improvements being piloted to make the city centre nicer and help people move around more easily.

We’re proposing some safety improvements in Tauranga South, Gate Pā and Merivale to make walking and cycling to and from school and around the neighbourhood easier and safer.

Keenan Road is an ideal location to provide more residential housing to cater for the growth we are experiencing in Tauranga.

Upgrading Cameron Road and the waters network beneath it has an important role to play in providing more homes for people in our city.

Intersection changes around Maranui Street, Girven Road and Oceanbeach Road are improving travel between Pāpāmoa and the Mount and increasing safety for pedestrians. 

We are making Links Avenue a more welcoming and safer environment for the community.

Public car parks and a new laneway are coming to 79 Grey Street.

Plans for a separated cycle way on Grenada Street will not be proceeding at this time. This follows the withdrawal of funding for the nationwide Transport Choices programme and confirmation council is unable to take on the full construction costs itself.

We're making it safer and easier for people to move around our city no matter how they choose to travel – including by bus.
