Pāpāmoa East Interchange to open before Easter

Tauranga City Council is pleased to confirm the Pāpāmoa East Interchange is planned to open to traffic before this coming Easter weekend.

The new interchange, under construction at Pāpamoa East, just west of the Kaituna river, is delivered in collaboration with the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). It connects Pāpāmoa to the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road / State Highway 2 and is designed to enable faster, more direct travel for the Pāpāmoa community, ease congestion on local feeder roads and future-proof the roading network for planned development in the area.

With progress on construction, traffic management on the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road/SH2 has now been lifted, restoring traffic to two lanes in either direction.
