Great North Road Improvements Project
Kia ora,
The first stage of the Great North Road Improvements project is nearly complete and the next stage is due to start in early March 2025. We will be working in two sections of Great North Road at a time until late 2025 (see staging plan overleaf).
When 10 March 2025 – early May 2025
Hours of work 7am to 7pm, Monday – Friday
7am to 6pm, Saturday (as required)
Site Set Up
Before main works can begin in these areas, new road line marking will be installed to support traffic flow around our work sites. This will be done in one night shift 11:00pm – 5:00am, on Sunday 9 March 2025. These two sections of Great North Road will be closed to all traffic except buses during this time. There will be detours in place, please follow on street signage. This is not noisy work so is unlikely to cause significant disturbance to residents.
Main Works – What to Expect
The next stage of works will begin 10 March 2025. We will be installing new drainage, ducting, streetlighting, footpaths, cycle lanes, raised tables at intersections, bus stops and tree pits.
We will be working in two locations along Great North Road at a time. The sections are:
· between Mackelvie Street and Sussex Street, and
· between Northland Street and Crummer Road.
In these areas, there will be no entry to side streets from Great North Road. This includes Scanlan Street, Sussex Street, Waima Street, Kirk Street, Coleridge Street and Crummer Road. Please follow detour signs to the next accessible side street. See www.AT.govt.nz/greatnorthroad for details of detours. We will be working on both sides of Great North Road at a time. There will be one lane of traffic open in each direction along Great North Road around our sites.
Vehicle access to businesses and residential properties will be maintained throughout the works. There will be Traffic Controllers on site to manage access to properties next to our site.
Bus stops within our site will be temporarily closed and signage will direct people to the nearest bus stop. There will be some pedestrian diversions in place around our site and no on-street parking within our work areas. You may need to park on your property or further down the road and walk to your property.
Some of our work can be noisy when we are breaking ground and digging trenches for drainage and ducting. We will use sound mats around our site to minimise the disruption.
