Delays for motorists on Petone Esplanade
Wellington Water will be repairing water pipes on the Esplanade on Saturday 11 August, between approximately 7am and midday.
The work will be in the Oriental Street area and will affect Esplanade traffic travelling in the eastbound lane only.
A detour will be in place for eastbound traffic, turning into Cuba Street, then into Jackson Street and heading south back to The Esplanade via Jessie Street.
Council advises significant delays are likely and recommends drivers use alternative routes where possible.
