project update
Work on replacing the culverts on
Wolverton Street is now well underway.
Excavation of the channels for the new
culverts has begun so you will see
cranes and other large machinery at the
two culverts.
The contractors have shifted the
alignment of street and traffic lanes at
the culvert near Taylor Street. This is
to create space on the north side to
start the excavation, as you can see
in difference between image 1 and 2.
Please take care if you are driving along
Wolverton Street because the lanes will
altered at different stages of the project.
The project team are satisfied with the
traffic management plan for Wolverton
Street. Traffic monitoring shows that
there are only minor delays during peak
travel periods. The traffic data is being
continually observed to ensure any
delays are minimised.
For further information about the project,
you can check out AT.govt.nz/projects-
roadworks/wolverton-culverts-upgrade.
This page has a video that explains why
this project is important and how it will
address stormwater issues in the future.
