Construction along Cameron Road has extended beyond the eastern and western sides of the road, and is now also on the centre median in two sections.

These sections are between Eleventh Avenue and Twelfth Avenue, and between Tauranga Boys' College and Fifteenth Avenue.

More sections of the centre median work will get underway as work on the streetscapes progresses.

Landscaping works, including planting of the new gardens, is also underway in Zone A, with planting in other zones to follow.

Construction at present includes the major intersections at Fifteenth Avenue and Elizabeth Street, and the smaller intersections at: Third Avenue (west), Seventh Avenue (west), Tenth Avenue (west) and Sixteenth (east).

There are lane closures in place throughout Cameron Road on both the eastern and western sides of the road to keep the community and our team safe while these works are underway.

Intersection work:

• Cameron Road/ Elizabeth Street north-east corner, outside Pacific Toyota: there is a southbound left lane closure which extends left around the corner into Elizabeth Street (east).
• Elizabeth Street (east)/ Cameron Road (south-east corner, outside St Mary Immaculate church): there is a left lane closure for traffic turning left from Elizabeth Street on to Cameron Road.
• Third Avenue (west): is exit only.
• Fourth Avenue intersection (east): is now open and remains entry only.
• Arundel Street: is entry only.
• Fifth Avenue (east): is entry only.
• Seventh Avenue (west): is now closed permanently to traffic as it becomes a green space cul-de-sac.
• Tenth Avenue intersection (west): this intersection is closed.
• Fifteenth Avenue intersection (east): the left lane that turns from Fifteenth Avenue on to Cameron Road is closed. This closure continues around the corner on to Cameron Road towards 17^th Avenue. Traffic can still access Cameron Road from Fifteenth Avenue by using the centre lane.
• Sixteenth Avenue/Cameron Road (east): is closed. Access to Sixteenth Avenue (east) remains via Devonport Road.
• Sixteenth Avenue (west): will become exit-only from Sunday, May 21.

"We ask that you to take these works into account when you plan your journey and prepare for lane closures and potential delays," says a Tauranga City Council spokesperson.
