Work is due to start along Hamilton's Anzac Parade on Monday May 31 - including over the Anzac Bridge - to more clearly define on-road bike space and to install flexi posts to separate bike lanes from traffic lanes after the road was identified as a high-risk route for cyclists.
Hamilton City Council will be carrying out the work along Anzac Parade, between Victoria St and Grey St as part of the council's Eastern Pathways/Te Ara o te Rawhiti Programme.
The council says safety improvements will include surface renewal work, a refresh of green paint to clearly define on-road bike space, flexi posts to separate bike lanes from traffic lanes, and speed humps at accessways next to bike lanes.
This work will be completed in two phases under road closure between 7pm and 6am:
• Phase one will be Monday May 31 to Thursday June 3 as contractors complete surface repairs and line marking at the Anzac Pde and Grey St intersection.
