Baypark to Bayfair Link

Traffic impact report

15 March 2024


 

Intended programme: week commencing 17 March 2024

People travelling between Baypark and Bayfair will continue to see several overnight road and lane closures, and associated detours in the new year.

This week, this includes overnight road closures of Hewletts Road flyover southbound, on Maunganui Road southbound (between Golf Road roundabout and Bayfair Shopping Centre), Girven Road and Matapihi Road, and around Bayfair roundabout:

  • From Sunday 17 March to Thursday 21 March (from approximately 7pm or later to 6am each night), SH2 Hewletts Road flyover southbound and Maunganui Road southbound from the Golf Road roundabout to Bayfair Shopping Centre will be closed to allow for the installation of overhead signage and asphalt work. A detour via Golf Road, Oceanbeach Road, Girven Road and either Bayfair roundabout or Gloucester Road, Eversham Road and Exeter Street onto Maunganui Road southbound will apply for light vehicles. Heavy vehicles detour via Golf Road, Oceanbeach Road, Maranui Street and Sandhurst Drive.
  • On Sunday 17 March and Monday 18 March (from approximately 8pm to 5am each night), the closure of a section of Matapihi Road will change access to and from Owens Place and Matapihi. During these hours, access in and out of Matapihi Road and Owens Place for light vehicles will only be available via a signposted detour temporarily connecting Maunganui Road with the end of Titoki Place. This temporary access point on Titoki Place will provide for a left in from SH2/SH29A Te Maunga interchange, and a right out, also towards SH2/SH29A Te Maunga interchange. Traffic controllers will be stationed across the Bay Link project site controlling traffic with stop/go signals while this temporary arrangement is in place. Businesses on Owens Place and Matapihi Road will remain accessible during their normal trading hours.
  • On Tuesday 19 March and Wednesday 20 March (from approximately 7pm to 6am each night), the Bayfair roundabout will be closed between Matapihi and Girven Road, in one direction at a time. For access to and from Matapihi, a detour via Maunganui Road northbound, the Golf Road roundabout, Oceanbeach Road and Girven Road or Maunganui Road southbound, SH2/SH29A Te Maunga interchange and SH29A roundabout will apply. 

Closures will vary night to night, depending on site requirements and progress, and people are asked to allow extra time, follow signposted detours and drive with caution through the project site. To minimise impact, works are undertaken at night where possible.
