Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project
We are moving into the twentieth week of the project to renew the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt. This is the final stage of this construction project, and traffic management at the McParland Street intersection will be changing to allow for installation of a new manhole and connection to existing pipelines.
On 22 July, weather permitting, the main traffic to SH2 will continue to be detoured at McParland Street to Pine Avenue and Victoria Street to get onto Gibbons Street and on to SH2 (red arrow). The main traffic exiting SH2 should turn left at the roundabout and can continue down Riverbank, Pine Avenue and McParland Street to get back onto Gibbons Street (green arrow).
Gibbons Street north of Bonnie Glen Cres will be open for residents and visitors to the area, with access to Upper Hutt City CBD via Victoria Street and Pine Ave. The worksite will be between the south entrance of Bonnie Glen Crescent and McParland Street but will predominately be at the intersection.
While we are working here it will be necessary to redirect traffic entering and exiting McParland Street with temporary lanes delineated by cones, and temporary speed limits will be in place during this time. McParland Street traffic will still need to stop and give way to Gibbons Street traffic. Please drive carefully in this area while works are occurring.
During this final stage, the bus stops will continue to be relocated to the north side of Bonnie Glen Crescent. This means that the bus stops outside No. 87 and 84 Gibbons Street will be temporarily relocated to numbers 94 and 95 Gibbons Street.
Most residents on Gibbons Street will continue to have access to their properties, although access may be restricted when the worksite is directly in front of properties. We will be in touch with those property owners before this happens.
On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us to get our work done as quickly as possible.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
