As we undertake essential work on our roads, we appreciate it can be very disruptive for road users, especially during periods of heavy traffic.

To minimise any inconvenience to all users, we have obtained a Resource Consent that allows us to work during the evenings (RM205196).

While night work will be less disruptive, we understand it might still be noisy for some residents and businesses.
