Tauriko Enabling Works

The Tauriko Enabling Works include safety upgrades at intersections of State Highway 29 with Redwood Lane, Belk Road and Cambridge Road.

The Enabling Works form the initial stage of the Tauriko Network Plan, which includes the replacement of the SH29 Omanawa bridge, public transport prioritisation corridor improvements, a new SH29 and the revocation of the existing SH29. 

The Tauriko Enabling Works include:

• a new intersection with traffic lights on SH29 at Tauriko Village to provide access to the northern part of Tauriko West
• widening of SH29 between the new intersection at Tauriko Village and Cambridge Road, including provision of a new shared walking and cycling path along the northern side of SH29
• an upgrade of the existing SH29/Cambridge Road intersection with traffic lights and a new connection to Whiore Avenue for buses, people walking and cycling only
• a new footpath along the southern side of Whiore Avenue and provision for future bus stops
• a new roundabout at SH29/Redwood Lane, which will connect to Tauriko Business Estate via Kaweroa Drive and provide access to the southern part of Tauriko West via Redwood Lane
• a new shared path connecting Redwood Lane to Kaweroa Drive crossing underneath SH29, and
• closure of the existing SH29/Belk Road intersection, with traffic redirected through Tauriko Business Estate to the new SH29/Redwood Lane roundabout.
