SH29 Tauriko Enabling Works – Stop/go on Cambridge Road

As part of the State Highway 29 Tauriko Enabling Works project, work is underway on Cambridge Road in preparation for a new signalised intersection with SH29.

To make way for works on this section, a power pole between 561 and 587 Cambridge Road needs to be relocated by approximately 3 metres. While this work is underway there will be traffic management and power outages.

Road users and the local community should prepare for:

• moderate traffic delays on Wednesday 11 December, between 9am to 4pm. There will be stop/go, a 30km/h temporary speed limit, and lane and shoulder closures in place on Cambridge Road (between 561 and 587).
• power outages are planned for the duration of this work. Impacted property owners will be notified by their power providers.

These works have been planned during off-peak traffic hours and can only be done safely during daylight hours.

People travelling on Cambridge Road are asked to drive with extra care through the area and allow extra time for their journeys. Temporary traffic management ensures the safety of all road users, the community, and our teams.

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) thanks drivers, local residents and businesses for their patience. 

The SH29 Tauriko Enabling Works are being delivered by NZTA together with Tauranga City Council. Downer is delivering the construction of the project. This work is an important step towards a more efficient and safer intersection of SH29 and Cambridge Road.
