TEL closure this weekend
The Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road eastbound lanes between Pāpāmoa and Paengaroa (towards Whakatāne / Rotorua) will be closed between 6am and 1pm on Saturday 22 January 2022 for the cycle-leg of the Mount Festival of Multisport.
This is the second year the event has used the Toll Road lanes for the cycle leg.
The alternative route for motorists during this time is via Te Puke Highway. Please be advised there will be one active traffic management site and a 30km/h temporary speed limit as part of the Kaituna riverbank strengthening works, near Te Puke.
Minor delays may be experienced during this time and traffic management will be in place at the Domain Road interchange and Paengaroa roundabout.
For safety reasons, the Paengaroa roundabout will be closed to spectators and traffic management will be in place. The best place to watch the event is along Marine Parade and Oceanbeach Road, Mount Maunganui.
