What will be done to manage disruption in Lower Hutt once construction begins?

We’re committed to minimising the impact of construction as much as possible during this project.

 

We’ll continue to work closely with each other, alongside local businesses, residents, and transport providers to carefully plan and manage disruptions. This includes learning from similar projects across New Zealand to apply best practices and keep things running as smoothly as possible.

 

Some disruption will be inevitable, particularly with changes to how people travel around the city. At times, certain areas may need to be temporarily closed to ensure safety for everyone, whether they’re walking, cycling, driving, or using public transport.

 

We’ll provide regular updates well in advance, so you'll know what’s happening and can plan accordingly. Our goal is to keep the city and region moving while we deliver this important infrastructure.

 

While these disruptions may be inconvenient at times, this project will bring long-term benefits to the community. We appreciate your patience and understanding and encourage everyone to look out for one another during this time.
