The new traffic lights at Fifteenth Avenue are now in place and in use.

In the coming weeks, Tauranga City Council will return to work on all four corners of this intersection to remove the remainder of the old traffic light poles and carry out any associated remedial works to the ground these are removed from, as well as asphalting and line marking.

"We ask visitors to the weekly Farmers Market at Tauranga Primary School to be aware of the following closure next weekend.

"The southbound lanes of Cameron Road will be closed between Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue from 6am Saturday, 19 August, to 6pm Sunday, 20 August. Arundel Street will also be fully closed to traffic.

"Access to Arundel Street will remain for residents only from Devonport Road, with no entry on to Cameron Road. Traffic will still be able to access Cameron Road using Fifth Avenue (east) or Sixth Avenue (east)."

Meanwhile, work is continuing at the Eleventh Avenue, Ninth Avenue, Eighth Avenue and Elizabeth Street intersections, as well as in other sections throughout the corridor, including some areas of the centre median.

"We ask that you take these works into account when you plan your journey and thank drivers for their patience and understanding. You can check here for travel updates. We also recommend checking Google Maps or Waka Kotahi NZTA Journey Planner."

For more detailed information on these works, visit the road closures webpage.
