Roadworks Update 6 – Intersection Opening, Maidstone Road One-way Traffic

Dormer Construction are expecting to reopen the Ilam/Creyke/ Maidstone Roads intersection and re-instate two-way traffic on Creyke Road by Thursday 10 July.

Wastewater Upgrade works will then progress along Maidstone Road between Ilam Road and Waimairi Road with a one-way west traffic system in place in this works area until mid-2026.

Key Traffic impacts

  • One-way traffic on Maidstone Road – travelling west direction only. This one-way traffic diversion will be in place until mid-2026.
  • There will be no entry to Maidstone Road from Waimairi Road. Signposted detours will be in place for affected traffic travelling east.
  • A 30km/h speed limit will be in place. This is for worker safety during the works.
  • Traffic management currently in place will be removed: Ilam Road will reopen at the intersection of Creyke/Ilam/Maidstone roads, and on Creyke Road two-way traffic will be reinstated.

Other key information

  • Detours will be signposted for eastbound traffic.
  • Water services and power will be maintained.
  • Any changes to bus routes will be signposted. For information on bus routes, visit www.metroinfo.co.nz.
  • On-street parking will be temporarily removed in Maidstone between Ilam Road and Waimairi Road.
  • UC have parking available on the Dovedale site for staff and students – usual parking charges apply.

Dormer Construction appreciate your continued patience throughout the works period and will be working hard to reduce the impact as much as possible.
