The reconstruction of Maraekakaho Rd, between Francis Hicks Avenue and Southampton Street West, will start on Monday.
As part of the same work, road resurfacing will also be carried out between Southampton Street West and Heretaunga St and new cabling will be installed at the traffic lights on the corner of Maraekakaho Rd and Southampton St.
The reconstruction of the road, kerb and channelling, and footpath, "from boundary to boundary", is the largest part of the project and will take about 10 weeks.
Rebuilding a road is a once in 20 to 25 year project. The contractors will dig the road out to a depth of about 450mm, and then rebuild the layers.
First to go down will be sub-base layers, then the base-course and finally the asphalt surface layer.
