Aidanfield Drive intersection: extension to road closure

28 August 2024

Aidanfield Drive (between Halswell Road and Euphrasie Drive/Bibiana Street): extension to road closure from Friday 30 August for about 8 weeks

Unfortunately, we need to continue working at the intersection of Aidanfield Drive and Halswell Road.  The current road closure, as shown on the map below, will be extended for about another 8 weeks.

This is due to poor ground conditions, which have required us to dig deeper and use an extra 3000T of material to stabilise the road, plus the recent wet weather.

We're sorry for the continued disruption and thank you for your patience.

What are we doing?

So far, we have installed new underground services, drainage, and traffic signal ducting, as well as built some of the new kerb and channel.

Over the next couple of months, we’ll work to complete the intersection and continue to coordinate any remaining work with utility providers to ensure the work is completed.

We’ll then install the new traffic lights which are still on track to be operating by Christmas.

The footpaths will be completed after the road has been built and the intersection reopened.

Traffic impacts

During the road closure there will be no access in or out of this section of Aidanfield Drive - please use the signposted detour routes.

Due to the road closure, the number 60 bus route will continue to be detoured. Information about the bus detours and temporary bus stops will be available at the closed stops, or online at www.metroinfo.co.nz/timetables/updates

On-street parking will not be available on Euphrasie Drive during the road closure due to the bus route detour. However, parking will continue to be available in the parking bays.

Our friendly staff on site can help with any queries. Footpath access around our work site will be maintained.

A temporary 30kph speed limit will be in place where we are working so we can keep our workers and everyone safe.

Access has been planned for and will be provided for emergency services during this time.
