Harbour Link - completed in December 2009 - is a $255m project which provides continuous four-lane road access through Tauranga City's central transport corridor, as well as improved bus, cycle and pedestrian facilities. Construction of Stage 1 of the project - four laning of Hewletts Rd - was completed in September 2007. Stage 2 is now complete, and officially opened on December 18. Traffic now uses the new bridge from Tauranga to Mount Maunganui, and the original bridge from the Mount to Tauranga City. Learn more about this project on the NZ Transport Agency's website here.
Tauranga Eastern Link is part of a comprehensive transport network - the Tauranga Eastern Corridor - to service existing and future inter-regional traffic in the Bay, as well as urban growth in Papamoa East, the largest growth area of the Western Bay of Plenty sub-region.

Welcome Bay Signalisation provides a coordinated system of traffic light phasing at the Welcome Bay and Maungatapu roundabouts, with new lanes, realignment of the road layout and construction of traffic islands to improve traffic flows. The first phase of this project - signalising the roundabouts - has now been completed.
Tauranga Hairini Link is a 3.4 kilometre section of State Highway 2 from Cameron Rd along Fifteenth Ave and Turret Rd to the Hairini Roundabout designed to improve conditions for other ways of travelling and public transport, rather than increasing the capacity for motor vehicles. Learn more about this project on the NZ Transport Agency's website here.
Tauranga Northern Arterial is a 6.7km section of SH2, from the SH2/Loop Road intersection (north of Te Puna) to Route K in Tauranga City. Its purpose is to improve travel time, reliability and safety on a major transport link between the Bay of Plenty, Auckland and the Coromandel Peninsula. The Tauranga Northern Arterial will bypass Bethlehem and Te Puna and support safer public transport, cycling and walking on the current state highway route.
