This week:
• Installation of a short-term contra flow closure on Mirrielees Rd to allow for kerb and channel to be replaced. This will also involve a footpath diversion; pedestrians are advised to proceed with caution.
• Installation of a short-term lane closure on Chapel St to allow for stormwater services to be relocated.
• Installation of a short-term lane closure on Dive Cr eastbound to allow for construction works to continue.
• Installation of a long-term footpath closure on Chapel St to allow for services and construction works to commence. Pedestrians will be diverted at the controlled intersections at Chapel St and Bay Central Retail.
• Installation of a short-term stop/go closure on Mirrielees Rd to allow for pavement to be constructed.
• Installation of a short-term lane closure on Marsh St to allow for road widening on the approach to the roundabout.
• Installation of a short-term block at Aerodrome Bridge to allow for cranes to be relocated. This will occur at 11pm on Monday 18th May.

Long-term closures:
• Continuation of a long-term lane closure westbound on Takitimu Dr. Chapel St eastbound off ramp is open and Otumoetai and Matua traffic will need to use this lane. A 50km/h speed restriction is in place. Westbound cyclists are advised to use Cameron Rd.
• Continuation of a long-term shoulder closure on the Mount causeway, east and westbound. A 50km/h speed restriction is in place. Cyclists and pedestrians are advised to use the footpath on the existing Harbour Bridge and causeway. Please keep left and travel with care as this is a shared path. Caution is required due to heavy truck movements in this area.
• Continuation of a long-term shoulder closure at the old toll plaza site west and eastbound for works on Aerodrome Bridge.
• Installation of a long-term lane diversion on the existing Harbour Bridge to allow for the construction of the Dive Cr westbound off ramp. Cyclists and pedestrians are advised to proceed with caution through this area, as it is a shared path.
