Wharenui Road - South Express Cycleway

Update

What

We will be replacing the waste water lateral, water supply main, submains and laterals, and constructing the new cycleway, footpaths and pedestrian crossings.

Why

Our network of cycleways are making it safer and easier for people to cycle. More people cycling eases the pressure on our roads. The Sewer and Watermain replacement are part of a wider renewal program in the area and has been brought forward in advance of the cycleway works.

Where

Wharenui Road / Lochee Road / Peverel Street, Riccarton / Upper Riccarton.

When

Early June 2021 to mid-October 2021. Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm (weather/site condition dependent).

Contact

The contractor is Downer Ltd. Phone 03 359 0700, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Impacts to traffic

  • Work area: 21 to 68 Wharenui Road, and the corners of Lochee Road and Peverel Street, Riccarton / Upper Riccarton.
  • During the day the road will remain open but with reduced width and the loss of some street parking. 
  • Wharenui Road will have two-way traffic
  • Lochee Road will be exit only heading north
  • Peverel Street will be closed between the intersection of Euston Street to Wharenui Road with access for residents only.

Impacts to residents

  • These works will generate some noise and light that we will keep to a minimum by undertaking particularly noisy activities during the middle of the day.
  • Water supply to properties will be shut-off for a short period of time to connect households to the new system. A shutdown notice will be communicated in advance of the works with exact times of the shutdown and other information.
