Work will generally take place between 7am – 6pm weekdays, with some weekend and night work possible and is expected to be completed by this winter.
What to expect on Papakōwhai Rd:
•The northbound lane will remain open during most of the work (apart from the occasional night-time detour)
•The southbound lane will be detoured around adjacent roads during some phases of construction.
Other traffic management measures in place include speed restrictions, removal of on-street parking, stop/go and narrowed road widths.
