17 June 2024Ongrade Drainage and Excavation Ltd has been engaged by the Waimakariri District Council to undertake the Northeast Rangiora Supply Main Contract along Blackett Street, Rangiora. This project will be starting on Monday 1 July 2024, when traffic management and site fencing will be installed to safely complete this project. We plan to have the project completed in stages, starting at the King St / Blackett St Roundabout and heading East. The first stage of works will require the intersection of King St and Blackett St to be closed while this work takes place, which we plan to have completed by the end of August 2024. This will allow us with a safe work space to install the new water and sewer main, upgrade the existing stormwater and rebuilding the roundabout and approach islands. Resident Access Vehicular access to residents properties within the road closure will be affected at times, however we will provide at least 48hrs notice of any upcoming access disruptions, and will discuss options to minimise these as much as possible with you. Note that pedestrian access to residents will be provided at all times. Traffic Management A traffic management plan will be in place and strictly adhered to, which ensures the safety of all pedestrians, residents and the general public during this time. There will be a need for road closures and detours for each stage of the works. Notification of these, or any changes to the traffic management, will be given prior.
