Ongoing Works
Ring Road Wairere Dr extension works continue
The south-bound lane closure from Galloway St roundabout to Cambridge Rd roundabout on Cobham Dr remains in place to allow for the construction of the Ring Road Wairere Dr extension. Be aware of this work and take more care for all our protection. This closure is in place 24 hours, seven days a week.
Rotokauri Transport Hub roundabout works on Tasman Rd
A full road closure remains in place on Tasman Rd, between Collector Rd and Gilbek Pl, for the construction of a roundabout as part of the Rotokauri Transport Hub project. The roundabout works are expected to be completed late May.
Arthur Porter Dr rejuvenation works
Rejuvenation works continue on Arthur Porter Dr this week. Road closures are in place to general through traffic use, however business and pedestrian access will always be maintained. Detours are in place and clearly marked. Works are expected to continue until the end of May. The areas of Arthur Porter Dr under construction are:
• Onion Rd/Ruffell Rd intersection to Ruffell Rd roundabout
• Earthmover Cres to Ruffell Rd roundabout
• Further south between Clem Newby Rd and Chalmers Rd
• Road safety improvements on Holmes St
Construction of a new raised safety platform on Holmes St, near Nawton Primary School, began last month. This raised safety platform will replace the existing kea crossing to slow vehicle speeds and improve pedestrian safety. New road markings will improve visibility and make road rules clearer for through traffic. This work is expected to take three to four weeks to complete.
Road safety improvements on Rifle Range Rd
The existing pedestrian crossing on Rifle Range Rd, near Frankton School, will be upgraded to a signalised raised pedestrian crossing.
New road markings will make the existing cycle lanes more defined and safer for cyclists.
The work began on Monday, May 4 and was expected to take three weeks to complete. Traffic management will be in place.
