NZTA to change Maungatapu roundabout/underpass traffic trial
The NZ Transport Agency is making a small change to the Maungatapu roundabout traffic trial.
From today -traffic lights at the State Highway 29A Turret Rd on-ramp will be covered to allow free flow onto Turret Rd - and towards Maungatapu or Baypark - for traffic coming from the Tauriko/Ohauiti/Hairini direction.
Citybound traffic from Maungatapu and Baypark will continue to be directed to Turret Rd via the underpass. The Hairini St exit onto Turret Rd will remain a bus-only lane.
The 10-day trial, in operation from 6am to 10am each day, is due to finish on Friday.
