UPDATE: I’ve been advised by AT that Beach Haven Rd will NOT be fully closed off, but there will be one-lane traffic control in place when the daywork is underway.
Major work is coming to Beach Haven Road between Tramway Rd and Lancaster Rd, including a full rebuild of the road and improved drainage.
Phase 1 of the project prepares the road (drains, roadside edge, and footpaths) and will take 9 weeks with night works for much of that. Traffic management will be in place during the day for the last two weeks.
Phase 2 is the road rebuild and resurfacing to make it stronger and longer lasting. It will be carried out in Late December, with more info on that to come.

Phase 1 includes:
• Installing new underground drains
• Replacing the old footpath and roadside drains
• Upgrading stormwater system
• Laying new concrete footpath and roadside edge
• Final resurfacing with new asphalt
• Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times. We will need to temporarily close bus stops, and some services will be affected – please use the AT mobile app or the QR codes on posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
• Temporary vehicle access to local properties will be maintained, however this access won’t be available on the day of concrete pours and whilst the concrete cures. Residents will be contacted 24 hours prior to the concrete pours to help accommodate any specific needs. If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home. On-street parking will be limited.
• Footpaths will remain accessible to local residents.
• Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
• Bus stops may move, but we’ll manage access to homes. Please use the AT mobile app or posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
NOTE: The slumped and potholed area close to the Rangatira Rd/Beach Haven Rd roundabout was in the original scope for this project, however after I raised issues with it, Healthy Waters did a detailed inspection and found that the stormwater pipes need to be replaced first. So in order not to hold up the rest of the roading project, this section was removed from the project. The pipes will be replaced next year sometime between March and September (TBC), and then the road will be done late next year (TBC).
