Road closures
All roads and state highways in Porirua City open except:

- Follow www.nzta.govt.nz/wellington-maintenance to keep up with weekly roadworks.
Paekākāriki Hill Road Closure
Paekākāriki Hill Road is closed to through traffic Fridays 3–7pm. Local access only.
Roading improvement projects
We're working on a variety of roading improvements around the city.
Hampshire Street
The resurfacing of Hampshire Street has been delayed, but remains a priority.
Issues
with the resurfacing of other streets led to the need for remedial work, which
caused delays and unfortunately meant other scheduled jobs – like Hampshire
Street – had to be postponed.
We
will now be seeking tenders for the Hampshire Street resurfacing and expect the
work to be completed late this year.
Thanks
for your patience. We’ll keep you updated when more information is available.
Temporary speed restrictions
A temporary 60km/h speed restriction has been put in place for Flighty's Road in Judgeford. This is to ensure the safety of all commuters who share the road while heavy machinery frequently access the construction of Transmission Gully. Thank you for reducing your speed.
Traffic advice
- Well-maintained roads are an important part of keeping people safe. While we aim to do this work with as little disruption as possible, we know that roadworks can be inconvenient.
- Please drive carefully through work sites and stick to the temporary speed limits.
- If you’re driving around the Wellington region, roadworks on the state highway network may affect your travel plans.
- Please phone the Council on (04) 237 5089 to report any concerns in your street so we can respond.
