Tauranga City Council are asking visitors and stallholders attending the weekly Farmers Market at Tauranga Primary School to be aware of an upcoming road closure.

The southbound lanes of Cameron Road will be closed between Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue from 6am Saturday, September 9 to 6pm Sunday, September 10.

Traffic will be diverted down Fourth Avenue to Devonport Road before re-joining Cameron Road at Sixth Avenue (east). Arundel Street will also be fully closed to traffic, with access maintained 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).

Eleventh Avenue intersection
Meanwhile, the initial stages of work at the Eleventh Avenue intersection are nearing completion.

"In the coming fortnight the team will open up the lane closures on the western (McDonald’s and Z service station) side of the intersection."

Work on the eastern (The Flooring Room and Jay Car) side is expected to begin in mid-September.

"The team will need to return to work on all four corners of the intersection as work progresses."

Stormwater works
"Stormwater works are progressing well on the western side of the Ninth Avenue intersection and the team is preparing for work on the stormwater crossing which will cross Ninth Avenue west."

This will require the full closure of the Ninth Avenue intersection for five weeks, weather dependent, from Sunday, September 10.
 
Work is also underway in other sections of 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."
