Waka Kotahi NZTA advisory: Temporary closure of Walnut Avenue

Please be aware that Walnut Avenue, west of State Highway 1, will be temporarily closed for five days and four nights from 7am Monday 13 December until 7pm Friday 17 December.
Please follow the detour signs. Footpath access around the work site will be maintained and a 30kph speed limit will be in place to keep workers safe.
While the closure is in place we will be installing new electrical ducting for the traffic signals. We know this work is disruptive so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Staff on site will be able to assist with any queries. You can also contact Fulton Hogan on 0800 ROAD FH (0800 7623 34) to discuss any specific access needs such as nurse/doctor visits or other essential deliveries to affected properties.
