It's objective is to reduce the number of heavy vehicles travelling through the Taupo CBD and along the lakefront and to reduce traffic congestion during holiday season and events. It is proposed that the route will take on State Highway status under the control of NZTA once it is completed. Hick Bros commenced earthworks at the southern end of the route in late May 2009 and progressively moved north towards Centennial Drive with approximately 800,00m3 of earthworks completed by early December 2009, covering an approximate length of 10km. The earthworks involved levelling the ETA route to provide a level base for highway construction with shared cycle & pedestrian paths, noisebunds, construction of two new roundabouts, one connecting the ETA with SH5 and another with SH1 and Anzac Memorial Drive, in addition to bridge abutments for the Broadlands Rd Grade Seperation and on/off ramps. Many challenges were faced during the earthworks construction particularly hot ground, hydrothermally altered materials and dust. The earthworks were carried out over the winter months reducing dust nuisance and environmental impacts and assisting with compaction of the pumice type soils.
