Motorists on Matakana Road will be driving through the new link road roundabout before the end of the month.
But there will be some inconvenience in the weeks prior.
Auckland Transport says a portion of Matakana Road will be closed at night for the next two weeks (starting July 3) to connect the new Matakana link road alignment to Matakana Road.
Group manager of infrastructure project delivery David Nelson says Wharehine Construction will carry out tie-in and pavement works at night to maximise safety and minimise disruption to traffic flows.
“The work involves changing the traffic management layout so construction work can be done on the eastern side of the link road near the new roundabout. There will be a Stop/Go traffic management system operating during the day between 7am to 7pm, and a signposted detour along Sandspit Road and Sharp Road will operate between 7pm and 7am from Sunday, July 3.
“We aim to complete these works as fast as possible and encourage local residents and visitors to the area to plan ahead.”
Electronic message signs will be positioned on Matakana Road to advertise the closures to motorists.
