Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises State Highway 29A between the Baypark and Te Maunga roundabouts will be closed this weekend from 7pm Friday 6 December to 6am Monday 9 December to allow for stone column ground improvement work.
The area between the roundabouts will also be closed the following weekend from 7pm Friday 13 December to 6am Monday 16 December, as a result of last weekend’s closure that was postponed.
Detours will be in place along Truman Lane and Mangatawa Link Road.
Please use alternative routes where possible or plan your travel for outside these hours. This work is weather dependent, and if delayed will be carried out on the next suitable weekend(s).
The Transport Agency thanks road users for their patience and ongoing co-operation while construction of the Baypark to Bayfair Link project continues.
