Roads of national significance<br />
The future of tolling is free-flow<br />
The Tauranga Eastern Link will use an electronic tolling<br />
system to enable you to travel the 23km journey without<br />
having to stop or slow down to pay.<br />
The proposed location of the toll collection point is to be<br />
between Kaituna River and the future Rangiuru Business<br />
Park intersection.<br />
The exact tolling system to be used will be selected closer<br />
to completion of the road.<br />
Roads of national significance<br />
The Government has identified seven essential state<br />
highways that are linked to New Zealand’s economic<br />
prosperity. Called the roads of national significance, the<br />
<strong>NZ</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> <strong>Agency</strong> is charged with delivering these<br />
highway projects.<br />
The Tauranga Eastern Link is a key strategic transport<br />
corridor for the Bay of Plenty region and a highway<br />
recognised by the government as a road of national<br />
significance.<br />

The Bay of Plenty’s largest highway<br />
Expected completion<br />
Construction of the Tauranga Eastern Link is expected to take five to six years,<br />
depending on soil and weather conditions. All going well, it will be open to traffic in 2016.<br />
Construction of the Bay’s largest highway started late<br />
2010. Under the design and construct delivery model,<br />
the Fulton Hogan HEB Construction Alliance decide<br />
when and how the construction is done. With three<br />
million cubic metres of earth to move, and seven bridges<br />
to build, it’s a large scale project to plan and manage.<br />
Section one: Te Maunga to Domain Road<br />
Upgrade 6km of existing highway to four lanes with median barrier.<br />
Key features include:<br />
• widening the existing state highway from Te Maunga to Domain Road<br />
• improving Te Maunga intersection<br />
• new and safer access for properties fronting State Highway 2<br />
• two new interchanges at Mangatawa and Domain Road<br />
• left-in/left-out intersections at Bruce and Kairua Roads.<br />
Section two: Domain Road to Paengaroa junction (SH2/SH33)<br />
Construction of a new 17km highway with four lanes and a median<br />
barrier. Key features include:<br />
• Parton Road overbridge<br />
• 150m four lane bridge over the Kaituna River<br />
• overpasses over Maketu Road and railway line<br />
• roundabout at SH2 and SH33 intersection near Paengaroa.
