Kilbirnie and Miramar, residents, and those travelling to the area need to be ready for upcoming night works at the intersection of Kilbirnie Crescent, State Highway 1 and Hamilton Road.
Road crews will be on-site on Tuesday, 29, Wednesday, 30, and Thursday, 31 October, to conduct investigations.
They will be digging up the road to check the location of underground services ahead of a planned upgrade of the intersection’s traffic lights early next year.
Knowing what is underground and where is essential to allow proper preparation for the planned upgrade.
The investigation work will be done at night between 9 pm and 5 am when there is less traffic. It will help reduce delays and disruptions for road users.
The intersection will be under stop-go traffic management during the works. Short travel delays can be expected and drivers travelling between the Wellington CBD and the Miramar Peninsula should allow extra time for their journeys, especially when travelling to the airport.
NZTA/Waka Kotahi and the Wellington Transport Alliance thank drivers for their patience and understanding while we work to improve this essential highway intersection.
Further updates on the planned traffic signal upgrades will be provided as the project progresses.
