Nottingley Rd/Lyndhurst Rd roundabout construction update
To enable essential stormwater work to be undertaken at the Nottingley Rd/Lyndhurst Rd roundabout construction site, a section of Nottingley Rd has today been closed between properties 620 and 602. The closure is expected to last until the end of September with traffic diverted via Hart Drive. Access will be maintained for residents throughout this closure.
Road users traveling on Lyndhurst Rd towards Percival Rd and Mitre 10 Park Hawke's Bay will be directed onto the new asphalt of the roundabout, noting that a stop/go system will be in place during some workdays and nights. A temporary speed limit of 30km/hr remains in place through the construction area.
While this closure will cause some disruption, the Tūpore Infrastructure team is committed to minimising the impact and completing the work as efficiently as possible.
Should you have any site-related questions or concerns, please contact the Contract Manager, Antonie Miller on 027 258 5606.
