Motorists called to prepare for lane changes at Greville Rd on-ramp

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Commuters can prepare themselves for an earlier merge at the Greville Rd southbound on-ramp on the northern motorway.

Lane changes in effect from March 15 will see the ramp's T2 lane merge earlier than the current layout.

Motorists using the lane should take extra care as they approach the motorway, especially during peak times, said Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency National Manager Infrastructure Delivery, Andrew Thackwray.

The existing bus lane towards Constellation Dr will boast barriers in place to separate it from traffic.

Drivers are advised to follow messaging on the electronic signs.

They can use Albany's Oteha Valley Rd interchangeas an alternative to the busy Greville Rd on ramp.

The temporary layout will be in place until September to pave the way for work replacing Rosedale Bridge.

The SH1 southbound lanes will be closed between Greville Rd and Upper Harbour Highway overnight on March 14 from 9 pm to 5 am.

Detours will be in place.

The changes are part of a project to open up the Western Ring Route, extending the Northern Busway to Albany along with creating walking and cycling paths.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Home made bread problem

Karen from Totara Vale

Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?

I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.

I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.

It can only be the flour?

What do you think?
