Project newsletter – June 2021

Kia ora

Kia ora and welcome to the June update from the Transmission Gully team.

If you’re interested in what we’ve been doing, have a fly over Transmission Gully with the help of our latest drone footage. A lot of progress has been made in the last two months.

Paving

There are two types of paving on Transmission Gully – granular pavement (chipseal) and structural (deep lift) asphalt.

In our April newsletter we took a deep dive into deep lift. Deep lift asphalt is being used on the steeper parts of the road, such as Pouāwhā/Wainui Saddle, and on the busiest parts of the motorway, such as the interchanges.

The remaining two thirds of the road will be chipseal.

Chipsealing Transmission Gully

While you’ll be familiar with chipseal roads – we thought you might like to check out exactly how we’re laying it (and all the stabilisation that comes first).

Mackays Interchange Streetlight Installation

A reminder that there are road works underway and a lane closure in place at the northern end of Transmission Gully near the Mackays Crossing interchange. The work to install streetlights will take around three months, with the team progressively moving from one work site to the next.

Keeping you up to date

We continue to remind all members of the public to stay safe and not enter the project site at any time. Work is underway in multiple areas and it remains a high hazard area.

If you have any questions, please contact us at info@tg.co.nz. If you have an urgent matter, please call the 24-hour project hotline on 0800 TGINFO. If we are working outside of our normal work hours and you’re one of our neighbours, we’ll be in touch with you directly as usual.

In our next newsletter, we will take a closer look at driving Transmission Gully, which will continue to be a feature of our remaining newsletters in the lead up to road opening.

But for now, haere rā from the Transmission Gully team.
