Project Update
Our crews have been hard at work over the last few months, constructing the cycleway, installing new services and upgrading the traffic signals. The traffic lights at the Memorial Ave/Ilam Road intersection were commissioned earlier this week so please take care when navigating this intersection as the general public get used to the layout. Ilam Road will be free from road works between 22 December 2023 and 8 January 2024, with two-way traffic reinstated for the duration of our break.
What is planned for January 2024
- Our crews and traffic management will return on Tuesday 9 January 2024, please see the diagram below outlining what to expect.
- Ilam Road, between Memorial Ave and Aorangi Road, will be free from invasive traffic management, however there will be some minor footpath and electrical works completed in January.
- The new signalised pedestrian crossing outside Jellie Park will be commissioned in January, prior to the school term commencing.
- Cycleway construction will recommence on Ilam Road, between Memorial Ave and Montana Ave. This will also include drainage installation, and the upgrading of footpaths and kerb and channels.
- The traffic signal upgrade at the Maidstone Road/Creyke Road/Ilam Road intersection will commence. The traffic lights at this intersection will be temporarily turned off from approximately Tuesday 9 January 2024. There may be times when temporary traffic lights are used on Maidstone Road and Creyke Road so please keep an eye out for changes to the traffic management
