The shared path was officially opened by Western Bay of Plenty Deputy Mayor John Scrimgeour 7 May 2021, with fellow Te Puke-Maketu Ward councillors and Maketu Community Board members in attendance.
This is another strategic piece of cycleway which in time will link up with the Tauranga Eastern Link Cycleway.
