Weekly roading and safety updates

Weather dependent

Our annual resealing programme is underway across multiple neighbourhoods. This work includes chip sealing and asphalt resurfacing to extend the life of our roads.

What to expect

• Temporary traffic management in place
• Expect short delays
• Loose chip following sealing
• Asphalt works on selected turning heads

Partial road closure for chip seal. Access for residents will be maintained where possible.

A temporary road closure will be held on Wednesday 15 April to service a Wellington Water trench leak at 41 Pine Avenue.

The closure will be between 8.30am and 3.30pm.

Diversions will be in place.

Road will be reinstated to full specification tomorrow.

Replacement of drinking and wastewater pipes underneath the bridge as well as as upgrading the pipe connections at both ends of the bridge to provide greater earthquake resilience.

First phase is to install a new drinking water pipe (water ridermain) along Tōtara Park Bridge, between Clouston Park Road and River Road/SH2.

Traffic Management: There will be traffic management in place to enable works during the standard working hours of Monday to Friday, 7am to 5.30pm (with Saturday work if required). 

Footpath and road closures

• A footpath and shoulder closure on Tōtara Park Road (West)
• A one-day road closure on Clouston Park Road West will mean detours will be in place which could cause some minor traffic delays
• An isolated footpath and shoulder closures along Clouston Park Road (East)
• As with the previous work, both lanes will remain open at the intersection of Tōtara Park and River Road/State Highway 2.

Water and property access

• No impact on access to private properties
• Water shutdowns will be required temporarily while we connect the new pipes. We’ll notify you of the impact and timing of when this is happening in advance
• Your usual water supply should not be impacted by these works (outside of the specific water shutdowns).

This work will create some noise; crews will work to keep this to a minimum.
