Construction update - 1 July 2024

Physical works on the new pedestrian crossing, north of the Glockenspiel, has started.

From Tuesday 2 July you'll see construction crews working on the following activity:

• Removing a section of the western side rock wall at the existing crossing to make room for a temporary lane.
• A stop go traffic control will be in place overnight on Tuesday 2 July while the crew removes the gardens at the existing crossing and install temporary pavements. This work allows the lane widths required to keep two way traffic flowing while the new pedestrian crossing's centre island is constructed.
• From 3 July the centre median strip will be coned off to allow crew members to construct the new centre island. This is expected to take until approximately Wednesday10 July.
• After the above is complete, the crew will begin the construction of the western side kerb extension islands.

Construction timeframes are weather dependent.

If you're out and about in the Stratford CBD make sure you say Kia ora to the crew putting in the work to get this pedestrian crossing built.
