SH75 Halswell Road improvements

Project update - installation of barrier

22 July 2024


 

Kia ora

Over the next few of weeks, our contractor will be installing barriers along Halswell Road between Hendersons Road and Curletts Road to separate the lanes of traffic.

The barriers help to keep cyclists, other road users and road workers safe, and encourage drivers to keep to the reduced speed limit. 

They also reduce the number of road cones on the road and the risk of road cones being blown into a live traffic lane and retrieved by road workers.

Once the barriers are in place, right turns into and out of properties along this stretch of Halswell Road won't be possible. Drivers will be able to change direction at the next available side street.

The barriers will not be installed across side streets unless we need to put a road closure in place for any future work we need to do.

The barriers will be installed at night with little to no noise, and will be in place until the permanent raised median is installed.

The photograph above shows the barriers in use elsewhere in the country.

We appreciate this is a change for residents to get used to.

If you have any queries about this work please give the Fulton Hogan Communications Team a call on: 0800 ROAD FH (762 334)
