Arrowsmith Avenue reopened to traffic
The part of Arrowsmith Avenue washed out by a water main break last month has been reinstated and the road has reopened with a temporary 30km/h restriction in place.
The broken main washed out a large section of the road and significant work was required to retain the roadway and repair the broken water main. The road and kerb have now been completed and final seal will be laid in the coming weeks when weather conditions permit.
The washout also resulted in a large quantity of pumice and silt being carried down the gully between Korimako Road and Norfolk Road and work is underway to clear this and carry out any replanting that is required.
