Work continues on The Parade

Here's the latest update from Wellington City Council about the work happening this week (2-8 November) on The Parade:

Shopping centre

Finishing work is under way in the shopping centre and all going well, we'll be resurfacing the road between the two new raised pedestrian crossings this week.  

• Monday to Wednesday - resurfacing work on the new raised crossings and pre-seal repair work elsewhere in the shopping centre.
• Thursday/Friday - rotomilling - this involves grinding and removing the top layer of the road in preparation for the new seal. The contractors will be doing what they can to minimise disruption but this is noisy, dusty work.
• Friday - chipsealing - this involves spraying a layer of bitumen and stone chips. 
• Saturday - laying the top layer of asphalt.

Avon Street bus stops

Work is progressing well here and we'll be pouring concrete on both sides of the road this week (weather permitting) as we put in the cycle by-pass paths around the existing bus stop near Avon Street and the new one being created outside the church. 

Tamar and Mersey streets

The construction fences will be going up on The Parade near these two streets as work starts to install the new pedestrian crossing at Mersey Street and alter bus stops in both of these locations.
