Work on the final stage of Rotorua's Green Corridor project gets underway in the inner city next week, following the recent completion of Stage One across Kuirau Park.
Rotorua Lakes Council has awarded the second stage contract to local company Goodrick Construction, with work scheduled to start on Monday and be completed by early July.
On completion, the Green Corridor will span a total of 2km, providing a safe cycling pathway all the way from Government Gardens, through the inner city, and across Kuirau Park to Lake Rd where it joins up with the Ngongotaha cycle pathway.
It will also link up with other cycleways across the district and be shared with other users including people on scooters, joggers and walking groups.
To minimise disruption, construction work is being undertaken on a block-by-block basis in the inner city. Prior to the start of work on each block council staff will be making contact directly with adjacent businesses to explain the work programme.
