Details
Project overview: This entire project will be completed in three stages and involves upgrading the wastewater pipes, installing a new stormwater network and making water supply upgrades; completing the northern-most section of the Nor’West Arc Cycleway (Ilam Road / Aorangi Road intersection to Matsons Avenue / Harewood Road intersection); and renewing Aorangi Road. For each stage/location, the package of work will be delivered together, with all work completed by mid-2026.
Stage 1 location: Stage 1 work is located on Aorangi Road, between Brookside Terrace and Condell Avenue, and will be ongoing until September 2025.
This works notice relates to Stage 1, phase 2, which involves installing a one-way system on Wairakei Road (citybound) between Jennifer Street and Pitcairn Crescent. This is shown on the map.
Phase 2 work scope:
· Continuation of work in renewing a large wastewater pipe on Wairakei Road.
· Water renewal and stormwater works along Aorangi Road.
· New kerb and channel, footpaths and road renewal along Aorangi Road.
· New signalized pedestrian and cycle crossing on Wairakei Road.
At times, night work may be required. Prior to this happening, those who may be impacted by the work will receive further notification from the contractor. To sign up for future works updates and e-text alerts, please see the details below.
Access to businesses
- Businesses will remain open as usual
- Please follow pedestrian and cycle signs when visiting businesses.
- Signposted customer car parking will be available on both Wairakei and Aorangi Road.
Traffic Impacts
On Wairakei Road:
- Wairakei Road will be one-way citybound between Jennifer Street and Pitcairn Crescent.
- There will be no access to Aorangi Road from Wairakei Road.
- Westbound traffic will be detoured via Blighs Road.
- Cyclists on Wairakei Road heading towards the airport can use the footpath detour through the road closure area, rather than take the traffic detour, but they will need to dismount at Pitcairn Crescent. Signage on the road will communicate this.
On Aorangi Road:
· Aorangi Road will be closed from Condell Avenue to approximately 15 meters southwest of the Wairakei Road intersection.
· Southwest bound traffic (headed towards Jellie Park) will be detoured via Condell Avenue, and northeast bound traffic will be detoured via Ilam Road.
Information for residents and businesses:
· There will be no on-street parking in the worksite.
· There will be increased construction noise and vibration at times, but we will do our best to keep this to a minimum.
· Please put your bins out as usual by 6am on your collection day. Our team will be in touch to communicate a plan of how we will manage bin collection during the work.
· More information will be provided to residents and businesses about accessing their properties within the working area and traffic management.
