The public will have a chance to see and hear what's been happening on the Maungatapu underpass site this weekend.
The New Zealand Transport Agency's Maungatapu underpass community day will be based at Maungatapu School on Saturdaybetween 10am and 3pm. It will be a fun day out for everyone, including activities for the kids, project information and hourly guided walks around the construction site.
The Maungatapu underpass is being constructed on State Highway 29A and includes new cycle links and a cycle and pedestrian bridge above Welcome Bay Rd.
The agency's highway manager Niclas Johansson said the underpass would separate state highway and local traffic, reducing congestion at peak times and making travel safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
"We are just over one year in to this important build so it's time to let the community get up close to what is going on and speak to members of the team to find out more about this project.
