KEY AREAS – changing or new traffic management
Linwood: Aldwins Road/ Edmond St intersection – plan for delays near Linwood College
SCIRT’s Fletcher team is working in the intersection of Aldwins Road and Edmond St from Friday, 5 September, for up to a week. This will cause delays. The crew will be working in the turning bay so Aldwins Road will be reduced to one lane either side of the work area.

From Monday, Kerrs Road, which connects Woodham Road to Wainoni Road, will be northbound only for a month from Wildwood Ave (one block north of Woodham).
