Roadworks Waione Road

Jon from Hutt City Council

UPDATE: 7 June 2018

In light of the inclement weather forecast (which is likely to extend the duration of the works), we have decided to reschedule this work until the summer – ideally over the holiday period when the road is not as busy.

Affected businesses will be formally notified of this tomorrow, and we will be in touch with local businesses and residents closer to the time when the weather has improved and there is a new date for work to begin.

-------------------

Contractors will be doing road resurfacing work on Waione Street, Petone, from Monday 11 June.

The work will affect the eastbound lane of Waione Street, from the Kirkaldy Street intersection eastwards to East Street. The work is expected to take four weeks, weather permitting.

Eastbound traffic will be diverted into East Street (represented by the yellow line on the accompanying map). Traffic delays are expected and motorists are asked to use alternative routes, where possible.

Motorists will still be able to access properties and businesses.

A temporary bus stop will be set up on East Street for those that would normally use Bus Stop 9151 on Waione Street at the Kirkcaldy Street intersection.

We ask you for your patience during this period and to please take direction from contractors’ traffic controllers.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
