Construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Lake Terrace and Maunganamu Drive is set to begin on 31 August, with the project expected to be completed by the end of November.
The work is being funded by Wharewaka East Ltd, the developer of Ngā Roto Estate, and carried out by Camex Civil. It is not a Taupō District Council project.
Road users can expect traffic disruption and detours for around two to three months while construction is underway. To keep traffic moving, a temporary sealed bypass will be built to connect Lake Tce to Pukenamu Rd. Pedestrian and cyclist access around the site will be clearly signposted.
The roundabout is being constructed as a requirement of the original resource consent for the Ngā Roto Estate development.
The new intersection will also provide a connection to the Lakeside Terraces subdivision via Pukenamu Road. Once the roundabout is complete, the existing Pukenamu Road connection to Wharewaka Road will be permanently closed.
Residents in Ngā Roto Estate and Lakeside Terraces will receive information directly from the contractor ahead of construction starting.
Motorists are urged to follow all traffic management signs and allow extra travel time.
We appreciate everyone’s patience while the developer completes this project.
