Contractors are carrying out repairs to a collapsed sewer main in Porowini Ave West, from 6am Sunday 7th of May to 7pm Sunday 14th of May.
No traffic will be able to exit Porowinin Ave on to Maunu Rd during the works, however traffic on Maunu Rd will be able to enter Porowini Ave as per normal. Porowinin Ave West will be accessible to light commercial vehicles and cars from the Tarewa Rd end only, they will need to exit again via the entry point e.g. Tarewa/Porowini intersection. Note: the route will not suit large truck and trailer units as there will be insufficient turning room to get them back out.
The work needs to be done before more damage occurs and a spill results, the contractor has made resources available and we wish to take advantage of the favourable weather over the next week. Sorry for the inconvenience and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Planning for a fix to north Auckland's problem plagued Hill St intersection has been brought forward, the NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport have announced.
They are throwing $2 million into the blocked up artery at Warkworth to investigate design changes to the intersection.
Designs put on the table by fed-up Warkworth residents, and some by Auckland Transport, will form the list of options to be considered by the project team.
Auckland Transport's Delivery Manager, North and West, David Nelson said with the funding a full investigation for re-designing the intersection can be done.

"We'll also look at any land acquisition and regulatory requirements needed before we can physically start the work," Nelson said.
Do you think more needs to be done for the intersection, or is this a good start?
