Next week, from Monday 2 February, Wellington Electricity is expected to begin underground cable replacement work on Daly Street, and the south end of High Street.

The work will continue over the coming weeks, and is expected to be completed in March.

If you live or work along the impacted route, you will receive an individual notification by letter from contractors GP Friel. Please follow signposted detours.

The work will take place in three stages (please see indicative locations on the map below):

• Stage One will see trenching at the south end of Daly Street to the roundabout (green line)
• Stage Two will see work move onto the roundabout between Daly Street and High Street (blue rectangle)
• Stage Three will move north up High Street to its intersection with Laings Road (red line)

What this means for traffic access:

• expect some single-lane traffic closures
• entry and exit points are subject to change, and parking in this area will be restricted
• during Stage One, access to Daly Street will only be available from the south. From there you can continue north on Daly Street, or turn right onto Andrews Avenue and right or left again to High Street
• traffic from Laings Road will join High Street by turning left only. All movements will be clearly signposted on site.

Thank you for your continued patience while this work is completed.
