Nixon St closed to all through traffic from 16 January until 30 June

Nixon Street between Anzac Parade and Moana Street will be closed to all through traffic for approximately six months from 7.00am on Monday, 16 January until 5.00pm on 30 June 2023 to allow Whanganui District Council contractors to install new underground infrastructure.

The new infrastructure will be installed on a block-by-block basis during the work period beginning at the Anzac Parade end of Nixon Street and working towards Moana Street.

Residents and emergency vehicles will have access to Nixon Street properties at all times. Nile Street, Jones Street or Kawakawa Street will be the alternative through roads during the work period with detour signs displayed.

Please note that depending on the specific location of the worksite at any given time, access to Nixon Street properties may be limited. In this case, residents are asked to please follow any relevant detours to access their properties.

This work follows ground stabilisation work completed in Nixon Street late last year in preparation for the new underground infrastructure.
