Grey Street in Cambridge has now been split in two following the creation of a cul-de-sac at its northern intersection with Hamilton Road.
Plans for Grey Street cul de sac
Council contractors were on site last week to close up the road at the traffic lights and start work on widening the new walking and cycling path through to Cambridge Middle School, as part of the Cambridge Pathway project.
School parents and nearby residents should expect some delays while the work is in progress, and the council is working with the contractors Camex to minimise disruption during pick-up and drop-off times.
Construction is expected to be finished by the end of January, in time for the new school year.
New Zealand Transport Agency provided $7.2 million in funding for the full Cambridge Pathway project as part of its programme to create more transport choices across New Zealand.
The remaining $3 million came from Waipā District Council’s Long Term Plan 2021 – 2031 budget for urban mobility projects.
