Capital Journeys have advised that reconstruction work will start on the crash barrier just north of the Northern Outlook. The text follows:
We are replacing a 170m roadside barrier at the northern end of Pukerua Bay. The work will take place at night, 8pm-4.30am from Monday night 7 February for approximately 8 to 14 nights – weather permitting.
The current barrier has reached its scheduled end-of-life and will be upgraded to the latest safety standards.
This is a lengthy job because of the site’s complexities. The posts on which the barrier is fixed need to be driven into ground close to a major underground communications line. To prevent this line being struck, a hydrovac will be used to pothole each post location before driving the posts. This will be noisy work but, where possible, two hydrovacs will be used to reduce the amount of time taken to drive the posts. Other noisy machinery includes an excavator, grinder and plate compactor.
Attached is a copy of the notice to residents near the work. The notice will be delivered tomorrow, Wednesday.
There will be stop/go traffic control in place from 7pm to 5.30am.
