DIXON ST CLOSURE UPDATE 4.54PM
The western end of Dixon St (from the intersection at Willis St) until MacDonald Cres is closed until further notice. Access to MacDonald Cres via The Terrace is still available.
As part of our works to repair the wastewater leak, our team came across a collapsed section of pipe which requires urgent repair. This resulted in immediate road closure, meaning we couldn't advise the public earlier.
As a part of this urgent work, a pumping truck will be on site. We will aim to keep noise down, however we expect the truck to run until 7pm.
We are working with affected residents and businesses to keep them updated on any increased noise.
We will provide an update tomorrow on the status of the road closure.

Biding Time - Time Out
It is so sad to see and hear an honest, solid achieving gentleman politician that is Joe Biden, the leader of the free world and the leader of the number one super power and economic giant nation, fail in mind and body so that he is no longer hanging on in facing the terror and threat of the appaulingTrump retaking the reigns of power.
Well before the presidents debate of a few days ago was it obvious Biden was not up to the mark anymore. The use of a teleprompter made his recent State of the Union speech sound pitch perfect but his slip-up performances at the G7 meetings in Italy a few weeks ago was reported as pitiful
The sooner he calls it quits from contesting the Presidency and orchestrates the Vice President Harris take over winning the November elections for the Democrats, the better.
Make no mistake the writing is on the wall for Biden.
Whoever wins the USA presidency for the next 4 years from the start of 2025 - Harris or Trump - will affect NZ and Upper Hutt substantially.
