The proposed location of the toll collection point is to be between Kaituna River and the future Rangiuru Business Park intersection.
The exact tolling system to be used will be selected closer to completion of the road.

Tauranga Eastern Link
The $455 million Tauranga Eastern Link will be the largest state highway project ever built in the Bay of Plenty.
Construction of the Bay’s largest highway started late 2010. Under the design and construct delivery model,
the Fulton Hogan HEB Construction Alliance decide when and how the construction is done. With three
million cubic metres of earth to move, and seven bridges to build, it’s a large scale project to plan and manage.
Section one: Te Maunga to Domain RoadUpgrade 6km of existing highway to four lanes with median barrier. Key features include: • widening the existing state highway from Te Maunga to Domain Road• improving Te Maunga intersection• new and safer access for properties fronting State Highway 2• two new interchanges at Mangatawa and Domain Road• left-in/left-out intersections at Bruce and Kairua Roads.
Section two: Domain Road to Paengaroa junction (SH2/SH33)Construction of a new 17km highway with four lanes and a median barrier. Key features include:• Parton Road overbridge• 150m four lane bridge over the Kaituna River• overpasses over Maketu Road and railway line• roundabout at SH2 and SH33 intersection near Paengaroa.
Expected completion Construction of the Tauranga Eastern Link is expected to take five to six years, depending on soil and weather conditions. All going well, it will be open to traffic in 2016.
