The area will be coned off from late this evening and will re-open to the public on Monday, November 30.

During this time, patients and visitors to Tauranga Hospital are encouraged to use the Clarke Street car park.

The work, to install a Lamson Tube system, has been underway since October 12, with work scheduled to cause minimum disruption to the public.

The system is being laid in the ground from Tauranga Hospital to the new PathLab Building on the 17th Avenue side of the hospital campus.

Tauranga Hospital chief executive Phil Cammish says the earthworks are being undertaken in phases to keep disruption to a minimum.

'We do encourage visitors and people coming to appointments in the hospital to go to the Clarke Street car park first,” he says.

'You can get to the Clarke Street car park from either 17th or 20th Avenues.”
