The Northern Line cycleway / shared path is being progressively closed in sections to enable streetlight pole renewals along the corridor. Council advises that these renewals are necessary to maintain the safety, reliability, and long-term functionality of the lighting infrastructure within the area.
To minimise disruption to users and nearby residents the works are being staged in short sections, and closures are limited to daytime working hours between 9am and 3pm, with sections reopened as soon as works are completed. In some cases, sections may reopen earlier than originally scheduled depending on progress.
Advance warning signage and detour information have been put in place to help guide cyclists and pedestrians safely around the active work areas.
The section just north of Wairakei Road is being worked on at the time of posting, and will be completed in the next day or so.
Estimated dates for the balance of the work:
- Wairakei Rd to Glandovey Rd 11/5/2026 until 15/5/2026.
- Glandovey Rd to Fendalton Rd 12/5/2026 until 19/5/2026.
- Fendalton Rd To Matai St West 13/5/2026 until 21/5/2026.
