Wainuiomata hill road works
To ensure the safety of our community while travelling on the Wainuiomata Hill, high-friction surfacing will be laid on a section of the Wainuiomata-bound downhill lanes.
This work will be done on:
- Wednesday 10th March 5am to 3:30pm (Wainuiomata-bound)
- Wednesday 17th March – Friday 19th March 5am to 3:30pm (Wainuiomata-bound)
- Friday 19th March 10am to 6pm (Lower Hutt-bound)
- Wednesday 14th April 5am to 3:30pm (Wainuiomata-bound)
The work is weather dependent and could be delayed by bad weather.
This section of the road will be reduced to one lane during these hours, with possible stop/go at times.
For the safety of road users and contractors, please follow the traffic management signage and instructions, including the speed reductions. There will be some traffic delays so please plan ahead.
This work is required for the safety of road users, so your patience and understanding is appreciated.
