Roadworks and road closures

This page shows roadworks by Council and any of our contractors that may result in significant detours and delays.

It doesn't identify roadworks being done by other agencies, such as power and telecommunications companies.

Most of our roading projects take place over summer, but we carry out some routine maintenance to our water network over winter.

Kelvin Grove Road – five dips area

We’re progressing with design work for improvements to the “five dips” section of Kelvin Grove Road, with some construction planned to begin this summer.

The work this summer will include installing new culverts and improving road geometry for safety. Work will be staged over a couple of financial years.

Opening of Popeyes / Starbucks

We’ve approved a temporary traffic management plan to help manage traffic for the opening of the new Starbucks and Popeyes on the corner of Rangitikei Street, Tremaine Avenue and Matipo Street.

The plan will be in place for two weeks from 28 July, covering the openings of Popeyes (28 July) and Starbucks (11 August). It may be removed earlier if it’s no longer needed.

During this period:

  • Entry and exit to both stores will be via Matipo Street only. The entrance on Tremaine Avenue will be closed.
  • On-street parking on Matipo Street will be coned off and used as a stacking area for drive-thru customers.
  • We encourage drivers to access the drive-thru stacking area on Matipo Street via Tremaine Avenue and Konini Street.

Footpaths, cycle lanes and access to properties will remain open, but please expect some delays and queues in the area.

Stoney Creek Road rebuild

 

We’re finalising designs to start the rebuild of a section of Stoney Creek Road later this year, from Whakarongo School through to Kelvin Grove Road. This work includes widening and future proofing the road.

Construction will be split into two stages:

  • Stage 1 (summer 2025/2026): From Whakarongo School to just past Hendersons Line
  • Stage 2 (next year): From Hendersons Line to Kelvin Grove Road

Each stage is expected to involve full road closures and detours, which we will communicate ahead of time.
