Aorangi Road (from Bateman Avenue to Condell Avenue), Bryndwr. |
When |
Early August 2025 to late December 2025. Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm (weather/site condition dependent). |

Details
As stated in the previous works notice, from 31 July (end of day), two-way traffic will be reinstated on Wairakei Road. However, the changes on Aorangi Road (south), outlined below, will only take effect from early August. Therefore, the road closure currently on Aorangi Road, between Wairakei Road and Colwyn Street, will remain in place until the transition.
Additionally, while we previously communicated an October end date for this stage of works, it is now expected to be December 2025.
