A million dollar support project for the Tauranga Eastern Link has been awarded to local company HEB Construction Limited.
The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) last week awarded HEB Construction the contract to enlarge the Maranui storm water treatment pond.
The project is to increase the size of the Maranui storm water treatment pond, which will allow for additional runoff generated from the Papamoa catchment and the Tauranga Eastern Link project.
NZTA's Bay of Plenty State Highways manager, Brett Gliddon, said work was expected to begin this month and be completed by May 2013.
The Maranui storm water treatment pond enlargement is one of seven Tauranga Eastern Link enabling works projects.
