We’re upgrading traffic signals at several intersections along the Strowan Road and Wairakei Road route, from Glandovey Road, Heaton Street and Rossall Street in the south, through to the intersection of Wairakei Road and Grahams Road in the northwest.

Signals at these intersections are being upgraded:

  • Idris Road
  • Railway crossing
  • Grahams Road
  • Glandovey Road/Heaton Street/Rossall Street/Strowan Street
  • Greers Road

Work to replace the signal infrastructure will be staged, beginning with Idris Road/Wairakei Road in February and then the railway crossing. It is being coordinated with the resurfacing of the road. 

In anticipation of the infrastructure upgrades planned as part of the Northwest programme, we are proposing additional improvements to the traffic signals. These improvements will help to facilitate traffic flows through work sites and reduce disruption. The improvements will be considered by the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board in February.

Our website has more information on the Northwest programme.

Traffic impacts

We know road works can be frustrating, so we’ll be working hard to get out of your way as soon as possible.

You should expect delays when travelling on Wairakei Road while the traffic signals are being upgraded.

Start work notices will be issued for each intersection upgrade before work starts:
