Papamoa-bound traffic travelling from Te Puke or Welcome Bay Road will have a small diversion at the Domain Road/State Highway 2 intersection via the west bound slip lane to a temporary intersection to re-join the Domain Road / Tara Road roundabout.

This is the second night of planned diversions as the remaining three of 11 concrete beams are will be lifted into place over SH2 at the Domain Rd interchange – part of ongoing construction of the TEL.

The NZ Transport Agency advises motorists to drive with care while these diversions are in in place.

This work is weather dependent, and if delayed, the work will be undertaken on the next suitable night.
