A new section of road linking the Mangatawa Interchange with Truman Lane is now open to motorists.
Mangatawa Link Road opened today after a short ceremony attended by Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby, Papamoa ward councillors, representatives from the Mangatawa Papamoa Blocks Incorporated and Nga Potiki Kaumatua.

Tauranga City Council worked in collaboration with Mangatawa Papamoa to construct the Truman Road overbridge and the Mangatawa Link Road.
The new road reinstates the link from the Tamapahore Marae to the ocean which hasn't been available for more than 90 years since after being severed by the rail and state highway.
The road provides direct access from Papamoa to ASB Baypark and Te Maunga Transfer Station. It also completes another tsunami evacuation route.
