Road works to begin at busy Addington intersection

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

A busy Addington intersection is going to be dug-up over the coming weeks to replace a century-old stormwater pipe.

The intersection of Brougham St and Selwyn St will be disrupted whilst the pipe first laid in 1912 is replaced.

The work will start Monday, September 28.

About 185 metres of stormwater pipe needs to be replaced. Council's plan is to carry out the work in stages over the next four to five months.

Some of the road works may be carried out at night to minimise the impact on traffic.

This could mean temporary night-time lane closures on Brougham St.

Two lanes of traffic on will be maintained during the day on Brougham St.

Access to local businesses and community facilities will be maintained throughout the pipe replacement work, council says.

Some Choice News!

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!
