Detours and delays are expected this week as road works being on State Highway 29 at Maungatapu.

Annual resurfacing activity will take place from the Maungatapu bridge to the Maungatapu roundabout.


A detour through Maungatapu will be in place for traffic heading east towards Mount Maunganui while the work is undertaken.

Motorists heading north towards Tauriko can expect speed restrictions through the construction activity from the Maungatapu bridge to the Maungatapu roundabout.

The NZ Transport Agency’s Bay of Plenty state highway manager, Brett Gliddon, says the resurfacing work starts at 9am on Monday.

Some night time resurfacing will also take place so motorists are advised to take care.

Brett says variable message boards will be displayed to provide motorists with advanced warning of the works ahead and of the speed restrictions in place.

He says this work is weather dependant and if it is wet this closure will be moved to the next available fine day.
