Rimu Road changes

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

The Paraparaumu stormwater upgrade is making excellent progress.
The contractors have advanced further along Rimu Road than initially anticipated at this time. With works nearing the police station, the traffic flow will change slightly over the next few weeks.

👉 For those travelling on Kāpiti Road, the right turn into Rimu Road will remain open. However, please note that the left turn into Rimu Road will be temporarily closed once we reach closer to the intersection.
👉 The one-way southbound lane on Rimu Road will remain operational, and the northern entrance of the Coastlands Shopping Centre will reopen for left-turning traffic both in and out.

To ensure everyone's safety, it is important to follow the instructions given by the traffic lights and our dedicated traffic controllers.🚫

We understand that this ongoing work may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and cooperation of all, while we work to reduce flooding to 350 properties in the area.

This work will continue until March next year, as it will progress onto Rimu Road and Kāpiti Road intersection before heading east towards the Old State Highway intersection and eventually north along Amohia Street.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
