Roadworks SH2/Vista Cres
For those who do not see the NZTA updates on FB:
UPCOMING ROAD WORKS - STATE HIGHWAY 2 – UPPER HUTT
At Brown Owl in Upper Hutt, a new footpath with a kerb and drainage channel is being constructed along the east side of the highway north of the intersection of Main Road with Akatarawa Road and Vista Crescent. Construction on behalf of the Upper Hutt City Council is expected to take up to 3 weeks from Monday 14 August. The project requires removing the existing guardrail and trimming the overhanging bushes before the footpath site can be excavated. If you are traveling through the area you can expect to see lane closures and speed restrictions in place Monday to Friday.
Motorists are advised to TAKE EXTRA CARE as traffic cones will define the lanes to allow the workers a safe zone in which to work.
Pedestrians will be diverted to the other side of the highway via the pedestrian underpass at the northern end.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
