As you will likely be well aware, there has been substantial kerbing and roading work done up Todman Street and around the Ohiro Road / Todman Street / Cleveland Street lights and intersection. Specifically there has been some night work done, in an attempt to minimise disruption to traffic and pedestrians.
Unfortunately, we have been advised that some key staff have been struck down with COVID in the latest surge by the virus. So night work is not able to continue. Fulton Hogan - WCC's contractors - have informed us that work will now be done during daylight hours with "stop go controls" at the Brooklyn lights intersection between 8.30am and 4pm leading up to Christmas.
Candidly, expect delays and allow more time for your travels. While sharing your frustrations, we would urge people not to take out any frustrations on the roading contractors and try our best to take a breath and stay with the festive season cheer. They will be doing their best to promptly and safely complete the road / kerbing work.
As we have seen with staff down sick in the bus fleets, train drivers, hospital and emergency staff, myriad other workplace environments and even InterIsland ferry service cancellations, the cause of this disruption is the COVID virus.
The received Fulton Hogan email notification attached below:
"Hi all,
I’ve been asked to send out an update about our works on the Todman/Ohiro/Cleveland intersection. Our recent night work suffered a set-back this week as the sub-contractor booked in to pour the new kerb and channel came down with COVID, so we were unable to complete it when initially planned. Further night works will be nigh on impossible to get approval for, so we are left with little choice but to do this work during the day, starting on FRIDAY 16th. We will still have some crew on site tonight and tomorrow night doing other work, but will be pouring fresh concrete on Friday.
Doing this in the daytime will result in some traffic management that will require some car parks to be temporarily removed but we will do our best to minimise this inconvenience. There will likely be stop/go in place to control the flow of traffic through the intersection. Our crew will begin setting up the site from 8:30am and everything will be disestablished by 4pm. This will be the case next week also when we will continue working to have the area finished before the Christmas break.
I have attached the comms letter that will be distributed to residents. Feel free to distribute this further, if you see fit.
In the New Year, we will return to complete work on the corner outside Unichem and the one opposite. There is far less work to be done on these sections, so we’re hopefully of being completely done by Waitangi weekend. "
Thanks,
Michael “Chewy” Chew | Programme and Delivery Manager | Fulton Hogan Ltd |

Kia ora, does anybody have any couches they’re looking to get rid of and are able to drop off? We are willing to pay, not having much luck finding anything at the moment!
Preferably a set or a corner couch.
Thank you in advance! 💕
