Update #2 Ilam Wastewater Works – Temporary Access to University Drive

Leave a comment

Extension to estimated completion date for University Drive closure.

The estimated re-opening of University Drive has been extended from 30 September until 30 November.

How this could affect you:

2 Sept- 30 November 2024

  • University Drive will be closed from Fine Arts Lane to Clyde Road.
  • A two-lane diversion will be in place on Clyde Road.
  • No entry to Clyde Road at Creyke Road
  • Exit will be allowed from Clyde Road toward Memorial Ave; Clyde Road left to Creyke Road (one way) and right into Kotare St.
  • Expect reduced on street parking.

In response to previous questions raised we can confirm:

  • Pedestrian and cycle access into University Drive remains open and you can enter and exit the university on foot or by cycle.
  • This just may be from a very slightly different place to what you are used to.
  • You can also enter or exit by vehicle, but only via Fine Arts Lane while University Drive is closed.
  • The footpath management is designed to navigate the works at University Drive / Clyde Rd (university side). The footpath needs to be closed at this location.
  • On the opposite side of the road (Hinau Street side) the footpath remains open.
  • The pedestrian signage on this side details how to safely navigate the works area.

.

  • The signage on site should all be directing pedestrians / cyclists to use a temporary crossing point on Clyde Rd outside #60 Clyde Rd.
  • Depending on which way you are approaching the area, you may need to walk or cycle up or down Clyde Road until you reach the safe crossing zone outside #60 Clyde Road.
