Next phase of work - rail level crossing
We are about to kick off the last big phase of construction work in the rail corridor at Walnut Avenue, the final part of our project to significantly improve pedestrian, road and rail safety.
Over the past few months a lot of work has been happening behind the scenes, such as the pouring of pre-cast concrete slabs for the rail crossing, finalising the railway signals design, securing materials and coordinating permitted works with train schedules.
Physical works will commence on site, particularly within the rail corridor, within the next couple of weeks. The most intensive work will start around the end of September and will require the closure of Walnut Ave, between East and West Streets. We will be in touch closer to the time to talk to you about this significant closure once our traffic management plans have been approved. Our plans include a special pedestrian crossing to look after students during the school week.
As always, we sincerely appreciate the patience shown by the Ashburton community. With work due to become more intensive, we would appreciate you letting your friends and neighbours know that there is a website where they can subscribe to get these updates here.
