HOROMATANGI STREET INTERSECTION NEXT UP FOR TRANSFORMATION

Project manager Izelda Cruz said the work was going very well despite the weather not coming to the party, and thanked drivers for their patience. “Our contractors are doing a great job and so is the community – drivers and pedestrians alike have been really understanding, and the finished results look great,” she said.

“The upgrade to the Horomatangi/Titiraupenga Street intersection will help improve traffic flow as well as pedestrian access here, and we have been working with Taupō Primary to make sure they have safe access to the field and that the bulk of the work around their boundary will be carried out during the school holidays. After the school holidays, we will also temporarily move the school bus stop to the angled parks opposite Freedom Furniture and Super Cheap Auto while the work is underway, and we’re asking parents to use the gates on Ruapehu, Tamamutu and Horomatangi Streets for pick up.”

The work is expected to be completed within six weeks, weather permitting, and traffic management will be in place.

With work on the Paora Hapi / Titiraupenga Street intersection nearly complete, our Downer team are now relocating to the Horomatangi Street intersection for the next stage of the Taupō Town Centre Transformation.
