The Cameron Road/ Ninth Avenue (east) intersection access near Pak’nSave will be closed to traffic from 6am Monday, 9 October for three weeks (weather permitting) for streetscape upgrades.
Traffic heading south along Cameron Road (away from the city) will also be reduced to one lane in this area from Eighth Avenue to just before Tenth Avenue.
Access to Pak'nSave will remain open at the Cameron Road entrance. To access the underground carpark, customers will need to turn down Tenth Avenue, along Norris Street and up Ninth Avenue, or go through the Pak’nSave carpark entrance from Cameron Road.
Cameron Road will be accessible from Ninth Avenue (east) via Norris Street and Tenth Avenue (east).
Noise and vibration are associated with these works as it involves hydro-vac excavation and saw-cutting.
This work is the part of the Building our future – Cameron Road, Te Papa project which will see the Ninth Avenue intersection upgraded from a roundabout to a signalised intersection to improve safety, and provide additional crossing points.
