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.

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.
