The Rotorua Lakes Council says progress is being made on Long Mile Road, and contractors are now preparing to begin the next section of work.

A council spokesperson says during the stage of construction, there will be no car parks available outside the Redwoods Visitor Centre on Long Mile Road.

'All car parks under the Redwoods Treewalk, and the car parks further down Long Mile Road near Nursery Hill, will remain available.

'The 55 new car parks currently being constructed diagonally across the road from the Visitor Centre, on the Scion side of Long Mile Road, are scheduled to be finished a couple of weeks after this next section of work begins.

'Parking areas on the grass berm down Long Mile Road will also be complete soon.

At least one road lane will be open at all times during construction and traffic management will be in place. A pedestrian access around the site will also run at all times.

The construction is scheduled to take place from Monday, August 12 until late September. As for the entire Long Mile Road upgrade, it is expected to be completed by late November.

'New lights have also been installed along the shared path to improve visibility and safety for users at night time,” says a council spokesperson.

'Thank you for your patience throughout this phase of construction.”
