The upgrade to the Baypark to Bayfair Link will provide improvements to the SH2/SH29A Te Maunga intersection and to the SH2 Maunganui Road/Girven Road intersection, and complete the eastern corridor for the Bay of Plenty.
The project will link Baypark and Bayfair and complete the eastern corridor for the Bay of Plenty.
Ease congestion by separating state highway and local road traffic and improve on the journey time savings from the Tauranga Eastern Link.
Provide safer walking and cycling connections for pedestrians and cyclists.
Construction of the project will involve building two flyovers; one flyover will take State Highway 29A over the railway line and the Te Maunga intersection and the second flyover will take State Highway 2 traffic up and over the Maunganui-Girven intersection. As part of the project the existing Maunganui-Girven Road intersection will also be upgraded, the Te Maunga roundabout replaced with an elevated interchange, the Truman Lane roundabout improved, and safer walking and cycling connections will be provided between Baypark and Bayfair.
