Public Information Day for Cambridge Bypass

13 March 2008

The people of Cambridge will have an opportunity to find out more about the proposed design for the State Highway 1 Cambridge Bypass later this month.

Transit New Zealand is holding a public information day on Wednesday the 26th of March at the Cambridge Town Hall, from 2 to 7pm. The information day will enable anyone with an interest in the project to find out more about the proposed bypass design and provide the design team with their feedback.

The design of the Cambridge Bypass began in April last year and preliminary geo-technical and land surveys are now almost complete. Transit has also determined approximately how much wider the current route designation needs to be to meet current highway safety design and environmental standards, and to cater for future four-laning.

Transit regional manager, Kaye Clark says Transit hopes to lodge Notice of Requirement (NoR) documentation for the extended land designation required for the bypass by early next year, with Waipa District and Waikato District Councils.

Mrs Clark says, “Public input is a very important part of this project. Anyone who is interested in this project will find the information day useful, and their feedback on the proposed design will be welcomed.”

Representatives from Transit and their engineering, property and resource management consultants will be available at the information day to discuss the design.
