Cycling and walking set to be safer at Petone.
A new cycleway connection at Petone is set to improve access and safety for bikers and walkers this summer.
Currently walkers and cyclists exiting or entering Petone from Ngauranga have to negotiate the large Petone roundabout.
A new off road cycle/walkway will run from the Water Ski Club access road, under the Petone overbridges and along to Hutt Road next to the roundabout, where it will connect into the existing cycleway. This will separate walkers and cyclists from other traffic, allowing them to travel safely.
A ramp will also be built from the Water Ski Club access road up to the southbound SH2 Petone on ramp to provide a link to the existing Petone to Ngauranga cycleway.
Work, including the construction of a new bridge over the Korokoro stream, is expected to be complete in November.
The improvements are a joint initiative between NZTA and the Hutt City Council and build on the recently completed crossing and warning signage at the SH2 Petone off ramp and improved road marking and surfacing between Ngauranga and Petone.
