We're making essential traffic signal upgrades at this busy intersection.
On the corner of Heaton Street and Papanui Road, next to Motus Health:
- We’ll need to temporarily close the left-hand turning lane from Heaton Street onto Papanui Road from the night of Tuesday 3 June to the night of Tuesday 10 June.
- Left-hand turns onto Papanui Road will still be possible, as you’ll be able to turn left onto Papanui using the straight-through lane instead.
- Residents and businesses will have access to their properties at all times.
On the corner of Heaton Street and Papanui Road, on the St George's Hospital side:
- The left-hand turning lane from Papanui Road onto Heaton Street will again be temporarily closed from the night of Friday 6 June to the night of Sunday 8 June.
- Left-hand turns onto Heaton Street will still be possible, as you’ll be able to turn left onto Heaton using the straight-through lane instead.
Please note that this work is weather-dependent, so we’ll let you and the community know if our plan needs to change.
We know roadworks can be disruptive, so we’re grateful for your ongoing patience while we upgrade these traffic signals.
We're working at the intersection of Papanui Road, Heaton Street and Innes Road between Sunday 11 May and late June 2025.
Our work involves replacing the traffic signals, controller and cables, as they are at the end of their useful life.
Key information:
- We’ll begin working at 6pm on Sunday nights and 7.30pm on weekday nights.
- Our work will wrap up by 6am each morning.
- We will not be working on Friday and Saturday nights.
- We’ll be using temporary traffic lights during our working hours.
- This is expected to cause delays, so we encourage people to allow more time when travelling through the intersection.
- You may see the contractor undertaking some minor work during school hours to prepare for the night works.
- Fulton Hogan is the contractor for this work. They can be contacted on 0800 762 334, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm or email cant.info@fultonhogan.com.
