Traffic delays Wednesday and Thursday
Installing a section of water main onto Te Mata Rd will start overnight on Wednesday, 7pm to 10pm.
During that time there will be short periods (about 30 minutes) when there will be no access from Te Mata Rd onto northern side roads between Carl Ave and Guthrie Rd. After 10pm there will be no right turns available on the stretch of road where the pipe is laying.
Drivers will need to turn left and go around a roundabout in order to travel right.
On Thursday, as work progresses on drawing the pipe into the pre-drilled hole below the surface, entry to the side roads and driveways will clear.
We apologise for the inconvenience, however it is the only way in which to install this critical pipe work. Contractors and Council are working as hard as possible to keep disruption to traffic to a minimum. Please share this message with your friends and neighbours who are likely to be in the area at the above times.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.6% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.5% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
