Revised Timeline

The return to two-way traffic on Wairakei Road, originally expected mid-June, is now scheduled for late July. This delay is due to persistent wet weather, difficult ground conditions and elevated groundwater levels.  This has required more cautious excavation and trench backfilling.

Current Traffic Management

•               Wairakei Road: The citybound lane remains open.  The airport-bound lane between Pitcairn Crescent and Jennifer Street remains closed until end of July.

•               Bus Route #8 (Port-to-Port): The airport-bound service continues to detour via Blighs Road, Condell Avenue, and Greers Road.

•               Aorangi Road (north): One-way system remains in place — entry via Condell Avenue only, with a left-turn exit onto Wairakei Road.   This setup will remain in place until the end of August.

Work Hours

Construction work is occurring Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm. Lane and road closures will remain in place outside of these hours. Some night work may be required during Phase 3; residents will be notified in advance.
