Dixon Rd is expected to be closed until July 6 at the intersection of Ohaupo Rd (State Highway 3) to allow for road and drainage works. The city council says to follow the detours and traffic management in place.
Other upcoming works include resurfacing works around the Te Rapa/Te Kowhai/Church Rd roundabout.

Also this week, work has started on a new raised safety platform for pedestrians in the left slip lane on Boundary Rd/Victoria St.
It will make it safer for pedestrians to access the signalised crossing at this intersection. Works are expected to take three weeks.
