SH1 Rolleston Access Improvements
SH1 Rolleston Access Improvements
From Sunday 19 July to Friday 24 July, NZTA will be starting night works in Rolleston, on Rolleston Drive, Kidman Street, SH1, Jones Road and Hoskyns Road.
Work will take place between 8pm and 5am, however is weather dependent.
What's happening?
NZTA will be working in the berm, footpath and road corridor to locate underground services and investigate ground conditions. The work is being carried out at night when traffic volumes are lower to minimise congestion and disruption.
What to expect?
A hydrovac truck will be used to safely expose underground services using high-pressure water and a vacuum system. The excavated soil is collected in a debris tank, reducing mess and minimising disruption to the surrounding area. This method is safe, accurate, and helps prevent damage to underground infrastructure.
Once the services have been located, the excavations will be backfilled and the surface restored. Residents may experience some noise while the work is being carried out.
Traffic impacts
Temporary traffic management will be in place including temporary traffic lights, lane shifts, shoulder closures, and temporary parking removal. Please look out for our staff and follow their instructions. Footpath access around the work site will be maintained. Please look out for changes in traffic management and follow signs on site. A 30kph speed limit will be in place.
Driveway and pedestrian access
Access to properties will be maintained. However, crews may need to work in front of driveways from time to time. If you need to enter or leave your property while work is taking place, please speak with a staff member and they will ensure your driveway remains accessible.
