Lanes on and around the Bayfair roundabout will be closed for three days with night works starting on Sunday.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advised that night works will be carried out on the Bay Link project site from Sunday to Tuesday.

Work is scheduled over three nights, including barrier maintenance work and the removal of sheet piles from inside the Bayfair roundabout.

This is part of the recent stormwater pipe diversion works, and the wider Baypark to Bayfair link project which will complete the eastern corridor for the Bay of Plenty.

Work this weekend will take place between 8pm and 5am to minimise disruption.

On Sunday, there will be a left lane closure on State Highway 29A eastbound with a 50km/h temporary speed limit on the highway near Baypark.

On Monday and Tuesday, there will be a right lane closure around the Maunganui/Girven Rd roundabout as well as on all four approaches to the roundabout.

There will be a temporary speed limit of 30km/h in place around the Bayfair roundabout for the duration of these works.

Road users are advised to travel with caution through the project site, drive to the conditions, reduce speed and follow the directions of road workers and signage.

The agency said this work may generate some noise and vibration.

Work will be delayed to the next suitable nights if there is unsuitable weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Up to date information on road works, traffic, detours and delays can be found on the NZTA website.

At Level 2, significantly more people are using their cars and public transport and NZTA urge drivers to plan ahead and allow more time for your journeys.
