🎇🚦Major road renovations on Rathgar Road and Universal Drive🚦🎇

Fiona from Henderson

Some major road renovations which will include a new set of traffic lights, is about to start at the intersection of Rathgar Road and Universal Drive. Also included a splat of red/orange paint similar to the mess they did in Glen Eden and the dreadful blue in Henderson.

All of this is due to start 4 July until the end September.
Good times ahead while 3 months of chaos & traffic jams will happen in winter along Universal Drive which is normally very busy, but will be slowed down so much now.

Rathgar has already been inundated with those dreadful speed bumps and now this.
I wonder when the carnage will start along Lincoln Road that they were talking about before all the lockdowns happened?

I wish we had traffic lights at the Parrs Road/Bruce McLaren Intersection as opposed to the silly round-a-bout which is already breaking up and is far too big for this narrow road.

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
