Works to rehabilitate a section of a wastewater pipeline running underneath SH2 north of Melling, between Block Road and Pomare Road are expected to start on the 12 April 2025, aligning with the Easter school holidays, when traffic volumes are generally lower, to minimise impacts on road users. The works will be carried out 24/7 and are anticipated to take two weeks. During this time, daily updates will be provided on Wellington Water’s website and social media platforms.

At this stage, it is likely that one lane will be closed and speed limits will be reduced for the safety of both motorists and contractors. While efforts have been made to minimise disruptions, significant delays are anticipated at peak times. Alternative routes will be advised where possible.
