Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project

The Team from Wellington Water

This week we have begun the replacement of the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt. The new wastewater pipe will provide a higher level of resilience for seismic events and accommodate future developments in the area.

This work will take about 24 weeks from 4 March 2019 to the end of August 2019. Hours of work will generally be 7am-6pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturdays worked if necessary.

Traffic management will change throughout the project and we will advise each major change of traffic management ahead of time as much as possible. The road will be open but we will need to close of sections of the road to complete our work.

On 11 March 2019, the Gibbons Street/SH2 roundabout will be partially closed. This means that traffic heading to SH2 will be diverted via Victoria Street and Pine Avenue, around the northeast side of the roundabout.

All traffic exiting off SH2 into Gibbons Street will be diverted at the roundabout to left-turn only into Riverbank Street and back to Gibbons Street via Pine Avenue and either Victoria Street or McParland Street. See image below.

You can keep up to date with our progress on this project on our website.
