Drainage Improvements - Mairaki Road Fernside

We are replacing the twin 1.2m culverts in the right of way (ROW) for 129–131A Mairaki Road with a new 3x2m box culvert.

Due to the previous flooding at the twin 1.2m culverts during high rain fall events, we are upgrading this culvert to improve the flows under the ROW to 129–131A Mairaki Road.

The work will include
  • Removal of the old 1.2m culverts.
  • Installing the new 3x2m box culverts.

We anticipate starting these work on 30 March and should be completed by 10 April.
