Cambridge Ave/Mulgrave St Intersection
The NZ Transport Agency is committed to providing the best solution at the intersection of Cambridge Avenue and Mulgrave Street.
The conversion of the roundabout to traffic lights is proving complex due to the amount of services/utilities that exist in the proximity of the roundabout. It could take between 6-12 months to move services before the traffic lights can installed.
We recognise there are problems with the current roundabout which require a solution in the short term.
Therefore, we are taking a staged approach whereby alterations will be made to the existing roundabout to better provide for the vehicle movements.
It is anticipated that these changes will improve noise levels. We are currently undertaking noise monitoring in this area and further noise monitoring will be undertaken following the small changes to the roundabout.
We will continue to work on the design for the proposed traffic lights and we will develop a plan to undertake the required service relocation. Further consultation regarding the proposed traffic lights will occur later this year.
We understand that any potential changes to this intersection may have significant effects so it is important we get this right. If you would like to see the proposed plans, discuss this new approach or have any feedback then please do come along to our upcoming public open day on the 21 March, further details are provided below.
