Road works – Paremata Bridge from Sunday
29 January to Thursday 23 February
Wellington Water will
be carrying out essential maintenance to the water main
located under the Paremata Bridge, from Sunday 29 January to
Thursday 23 February. This work is important as it helps
improve the resilience of the water supply to Plimmerton and
Pukerua Bay.
To minimise disruption to traffic, this work
will be carried out at night between 7pm and 5.30am. No
work will be undertaken on Friday or Saturday nights nor
over the Waitangi Day weekend (3-6 February). As the water
main is located under the bridge, the northbound and
southbound fast lanes will be closed while the work is
carried out.
There may be some delays for traffic passing
through the worksite and traffic management will be in place
throughout. There will be no effect on water supplies.
