Construction begins next week for the first of two new roundabouts planned for State Highway 6, between Woodbourne and Springlands.
From Tuesday, 16 January to Friday, 24 May, contractors will build a new roundabout on State Highway 6 at the intersection of Bells and St Leonards roads.
A second roundabout is planned for the intersection of Tancred Crescent and State Highway 6 near Marlborough Airport. The timing for construction of this roundabout is still being finalised.
Drivers using the new roundabouts will find it much easier to get through these intersections. It’ll be easier to turn across oncoming traffic, and drivers entering from side roads will no longer have to wait so long to turn onto State Highway 6.
The first stage of the Bells/St Leonards roundabout works begins on Tuesday 16 January and will continue to 24 February.
The construction will create some disruption and travel delays and residents close to the work site may experience some noise, lights, and vibration while the work is being undertaken.
Contractors are making every effort to minimise disruption while the work is underway.
Drivers must take care when going through the works area and follow all temporary speed limits and directions from work crews. Traffic management is there to keep road users and road workers safe.
