Muri Road Reconstruction Works

• • Information, Road safety, Uncategorized

Contractors (BOSCO) will start phases one and two of the work to improve Muri Road from Sea Vista Drive to number 43 Muri Rd. The improvements will include widening of the roadway and installation of a footpath to join up with the existing boardwalk on the rise from the intersection with Sea Vista Drive.

The Contractors have dropped off letters to Muri Road residents advising them of the works being undertaken and that there will be disruption to traffic flow and pedestrian access during the time the works are undertaken. Residents from 9A to 19 Muri Road have been or are being directly contacted by the contractor to work over access issues to their properties that will occur as the roading improvements are being undertaken.

To undertake the works the developer/contractor had been required to develop a traffic management plan for vehicles and pedestrians that PCC can be satisfied with. The nature of the works and the road itself has made a traffic management plan, acceptable to PCC, for pedestrian access through the works site not achievable. Meaning no pedestrian access through the worksite during operational hours.

The only option open to the contractor has been to advise pedestrian traffic to use the pathway along the closed Muri Station through Muri Reserve to Sea Vista Drive or across the railway tracks to Weku Road. Pedestrian access along Muri Rd will be open when works are not under way.

Phase 1 of the work is scheduled to start on 30 June and be completed in one to two weeks, with sealing of that section on 14th July.

Phase 2 is scheduled to take 17 working days to complete with sealing of the road scheduled for 5th or 6th of August.

As with any earthworks the progress will be weather dependant so completion dates may be earlier or later than scheduled.

At this point a schedule Phase 3 has not been finalised. 

Anyone having difficulties with access can contact the BOSCO Site Manager Shaun Kennedy on:  027 343 8386

Muri Road Development: May update

• • Housing, Road safety • ,

Advice has come from Pukerua Holdings Ltd that a notice board at Muri Rd will shortly be erected by the Civil works contractor, Bryce O’Sullivan Contracting, as the new road entrance starts to open and civil works (drainage, roading etc) get underway.

These works will also include the upgrade of a section of Muri Rd between Sea Vista Drive and just beyond the new subdivision entrance (see below).

All affected residents will shortly be updated via letter of these road widening works.

This work is expected to start in August for a period of approx. 10 weeks.

There will naturally be some disruption for this short period, however, the developers believe this will ultimately lead to a much-improved outcome for all residents.

Pukerua Bay Holdings Ltd which is undertaking the housing development off Muri Road has been in touch with PKBRA to give an update on the development. This is set out below.

As mentioned, we have now completed the 1st phase of our forestry harvest operation and ready to commence the stage 1 earthworks programme at Muri Rd.

Residents will shortly receive notice via their letterbox of the commencement of works on site from the Contractor, Bryce O’Sullivan Contracting (BOSCO).

The works will include opening the new road entrance for the subdivision at the midpoint between 34 and 50 Muri Road.

One additional lot will be created off the ROW at 34 Muri Road.

See below screenshot of the approximate scope of works, marked in red.

As with our forestry logging operation to date, we will continue to comply with all requirements as set out by Porirua City Council.

Our aim is to always keep any disruption to neighbouring residents to an absolute minimum, where possible.
