The Whanganui Alliance will be carrying out pavement (road) stabilisation works at three locations across Whanganui as part of the council’s annual summer roading programme.
The work will strengthen the existing road surface in preparation for new asphalt surfaces, which are scheduled to be laid in October. All works are weather-dependent and will be carried out overnight to minimise disruption to traffic. The work may be rescheduled if conditions are unsuitable.
Thanks for your patience.
