Construction of two tsunami evacuation bridges will begin next week, according to Tauranga City Council.
One bridge will be across the stormwater pond between Bermuda Dr and Santa Barbara Dr.
The other will be across the Maranui Swale near the end of Evansbel Pl.
Work on the Bermuda Dr bridge requires the walkway along the reserve to be closed at times.
Tauranga City Council apologies for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
