Tauranga City Council said this road was being reconstructed because it has reached the end of its 25-year life. Due to the road being narrow and steep driving through the work site is restricted.
Southbound traffic coming from Cameron Rd and Fraser St will be detoured via Chadwick Rd, and northbound traffic via 18th Avenue
However, access for residents is being maintained and Courtney Rd businesses will still be available from the Fraser Rd end of Courtney Rd.
Completion of the reconstruction work is weather dependent.
