Durham St bus stop works starting soon

Work is about to start on a new bus stop facility in the Tauranga city centre.

 

"The six new bus stop bays, on southern Durham St, will join other Tauranga City Council projects aimed at giving people more choice when travelling to and from our city centre," said a council spokesperson.

Contractors expect to start preparatory work next week, with the main works to start from Monday, January 20.

The aim is to finish in April.

Southern Durham St will often need to reduce to one lane, with the northbound lane remaining open. At times, both lanes will need to close outside peak travel periods. Traffic controllers and signs will re-direct traffic when this occurs.

"Contractors will do their best to minimise disruption, and the council asks that site workers be treated with patience and respect."

People with questions about the works can email citycentrept@tauranga.govt.nz.

Can I join the city planning team please....
I might be overqualified though, because I think about the what ifs and try to plan ahead BEFORE I spend any money. I have never been to work just to eat my lunch either.
But all is well... It will only cost ratepayers less than a cup of coffee each and we have found more work to do, other than manage the requirements of any of the other suburbs. When's payday boss.


Lighting required.

I wonder if they plan to have lights in these ones. The last lot didn't have any so after dark you sat in the dark.
The lights can be on a sensor so if not needed they go off. This is available in 2025
