On 28, 29 and 30 August 2023 between the hours of 8.00pm and 6.00am, State Highway 2 Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road (TELTR) was closed on both sides, to facilitate the safe installation of eight large interchange beams. Each beam, 33.1m long and weighing approximately 65T, was installed onto columns straddling the motorway. These works were part of a motorway interchange project that commenced in October 2022 and is expected to open in late 2024. This is a key piece of infrastructure that will link the Park to the motorway and the wider region - a visual signifier of the notable progress for the project. The interchange is expected to be open in late 2024.
