Onslow Road Works

Nicola McFaull from Onslow Residents' Community Association

Shout out to WCC network people who are doing a great job keeping us updated about the roadworks currently happening on Onslow Road. They are getting this route done so that the road can handle the extra traffic next year when the Ngaio Gorge slip will be worked on.

Here is the latest:
Onslow Road will be open to all traffic by 6pm tonight, Monday 16 December.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 17 December, work will resume from 9am until 9pm. All traffic will be able to use Onslow Road and bus services return to normal. From Homebush Road to Benares Street, through traffic will be detoured. Residents who live on Onslow Road between Homebush Road and Benares Street will have access at all times, but should follow the directions of road crews on site.

This work is weather dependent. If the work is postponed, it will be rescheduled to the next fine day this week.

Tuesday is rubbish collection day for Onslow Road and residents should put their bins out as normal.

“Road crews have worked incredibly hard to get this work done since Friday,” says Wellington City Council Transport and Infrastructure Manager, Siobhan Procter. “We recognise the inconvenience closing the road to through traffic has on the community and we really do appreciate people’s patience and understanding.”
