BAY OF PLENTY APTLY NAMED

The Bay of Plenty region is the second fastest growing region in the country and Tauranga is the economic hub of the Bay of Plenty. The Western Bay of Plenty, which covers the coastline from Waihi to Te Puke and stretches inland to the Kaimai Ranges, has had the highest rate of economic growth nationwide for the last two years. It is home to New Zealand’s largest international export port and is strongly supported by sea, rail and air links.

In order to alleviate traffic issues which have arisen due to the extensive population growth, a major upgrade of Tauranga’s central roading network is underway. The project, which will be completed over two stages, will include the construction of a second harbour bridge, immediately adjacent to the existing two-lane bridge.

In addition to the second bridge, widening of the roads, which feed onto the bridge from either direction, will provide quicker and more efficient access through central Tauranga. The project is one of the biggest to be conducted in the Bay of Plenty and will facilitate further growth in the area.
