There are signs of progress on the project to install a new water main between Hastings and Havelock North, with more than 30 per cent of the 4.8km length in the ground.
In Crosses Rd there is just 200m left to go and the road re-sealing team has started work behind them. The stretch starts on the west side of Crosses Rd Bridge, ending at St George's Rd.
In St George's Rd, pipe-laying heading from Crosses Rd to Howard St continues and another team is starting on the building of a new cycle lane. The crews are expected to be working there for another 10 weeks, weather-dependent.
The trickiest sections are in the main urban areas, which have required a number of road closures.
The next will be St Aubyn St, from Monday, May 21, from Terrace Rd to Windsor Ave, and Windsor Ave, from Heretaunga St to Howard St.
