This is to complete an additional layer of temporary asphalt across the intersection. Work to hydro excavate services at the traffic light control box to finalise the ducting install at this location also continues. This work is expected to be finalised tonight. Please note there will be intermittent medium to high volume noise e.g. hydro excavation, trucks and diggers moving and loading heavy equipment. A change in lane layout will be required while this work is taking place, however vehicle and footpath access will be maintained around the work. These night works are taking place in the evening when pedestrian and vehicle volumes are lower.

Upcoming works - Road crossings for servicesPart of the upgrade includes traffic lights, street lights and future proofing ducting, and stormwater connections across the carriageway of Karangahape Road. These works require sections of Karangahape Road to be closed, with detours in place for vehicles. Therefore these works will be undertaken at night when traffic volumes are low. Every morning the team will reinstate the carriageway before morning traffic commences. This work is expected to commence in the last week of October and the details will be shared in the next newsletters.
