The Lorna/Devon intersection changes will make it easier for ambulances from Taranaki Base Hospital to exit Lorna Street.

The project includes:

  • Creating a dedicated left-turn lane from Lorna onto Devon.
  • Moving the signalised pedestrian crossing closer to the intersection.
  • Giving ambulances priority over the traffic lights.
  • Cycle and road lane changes.

Road closures

  • Access from Lorna Street onto SH45 will be closed from 29 April to 25 May (weather permitting).
  • From Monday 13 May to Saturday 1 June (weather permitting) access to Devon Street West from Lorna Street will be closed. Alternative routes will be available and clearly signposted. Parking along Doone Street will be restricting during this time for the safety of road users - additional parking is available at Lynmouth Park.
