Rangiuru Business Park Interchange Update
Piling works have been completed on both sides of State Highway 2 Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road (TELTR). Currently columns are being installed, these will support bridge beams, which are due to be installed in the near future.
What is involved?
To support the safe installation of the new bridge beams a closure of SH2 TELTR in both directions is required. There are eight beams, each beam is 33.1m in length and weighs approximately 65T. Safety of both crews and road users is critically important, and the best way to ensure the safety of all parties is to close the road while the beams are installed. This work is expected to take three nights, weather permitting. The first two nights will allow for the placement of bridge beams and the remaining night for the installation of services attached to the underside of the bridge beams.
What to expect?
To allow these works to be completed traffic on SH2 will be diverted at the Domain Road Interchange and detours will go through Te Puke to the Paengaroa roundabout, refer to map below. These works will commence on Monday 28 August 2023 between the hours of 8.00pm to 6.00am for three nights. Outside of these hours the current temporary traffic management set-up (one lane in each direction) and 70km/ph speed limit will be in place.
The future interchange site is located approximately 6km east of the Pāpāmoa Eastern Interchange already under construction on the State Highway 2 Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road (TELTR).
Pāpāmoa East Interchange
The Pāpāmoa East Interchange will coincide works with the planned three-night closure of the Rangiuru Business Park Interchange construction. This eliminates the need for a second closure or other additional temporary traffic changes.
