Courtney Road is closed until Wednesday while work to reconstruct it takes place.

The road is narrow and steep, so the Tauranga City Council thought it prudent to close it for this stage of the works as it is thought too unsafe to have traffic driving there at this time.

The work is weather dependant.

Courtney Road works detours

• Southbound traffic coming from Cameron Road and Fraser Street will be detoured via Chadwick Road.
• Northbound traffic will be detoured via 18th Avenue

Access for residents will be maintained and access to Courtney Road businesses will be available from the Fraser Street end of Courtney Road.
