Temporary road closures    

Coronation Road – Studholme Street Intersection  12 August - 11 October 2024 

Update 3 October 2024  - Watermain upgrade works on Studholme Street have now been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. As a result, the closure of Studholme St from Snell St through to Terrace Ave will now be extended until Friday 11 October. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.

________________________

Our contractors Odlum Group will be carrying out watermain upgrade works along the intersection of Coronation, Snell and Studholme Streets. During this time, parts of Coronation, Studholme and Snell Street will be closed from Monday 12 August - Friday 11 October 2024.

Roads to be closed:

• Studholme Street - from Page St through to Rushton Rd.
• Snell Street - from Lorne St to Studholme St. Access to Rushton Rd from Young St only. Access to Loveridge and Turnbull Cres from Terrace Ave. No access from Snell St end.
• Access to Fairway Drive and Rushton Road from Studholme Street for residents only within the closure.
• Access to Studholme Street from Fairway Drive or Rushton Road will not be permitted. Emergency only.

Access to Coronation Road shops returns to normal.

There will be traffic delays due to the road closure. So please ensure you allow extra time to get to your destination safely.

Detours

Please use an alternate route. Full traffic management and diversions will be in place for the duration of the closure.

What's happening?

New water main upgrade works will connect existing pipework at the intersection of Coronation Rd, Snell St and Studholme St. While these pipes are installed and commissioned our construction site will gradually extend toward Rhoda Read Hospital. These works will enable Council to replace old water pipe infrastructure and connect to the new Lockerbie Water Treatment Plant and subdivision. This will ensure an increase in resilience and water supply for the future.

Odlum Group will endeavour to be respectful of your neighbourhood and minimise their impact wherever possible, however there will be temporary hazards, noise and disruption that are all involved with civil construction, and we ask for your patience during this time.

General hours of work will be from 6.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday no Saturday work is expected, however this may become a requirement to keep the project on track.

Water supply

As a watermain upgrade project these works will also affect your water supply, there will be scheduled shutdowns with notice given to affected households, through additional letters, Antenno and our website at mpdc.nz/waternotices throughout the time we are in the area.

We understand how frustrating this may be, however Odlum Group will endeavour to make this process as quick and seamless as possible.
