Somme Parade drop-out repair
Whanganui River bank opposite 131 Somme Parade, Aramoho 4500
Significant erosion to about 136 metres of the Whanganui River bank opposite 131 Somme Parade (Axiam Plastics) has made the riverbank footpath unsafe to use and threatens the integrity of the road and gas pipeline under the footpath
Announcement : Friday, 1 March:
Somme Parade has reopened to two-way traffic at the drop-out repair site.
The Whanganui Alliance and other work crews have put in a huge effort to get this section of road open between Barrack Street and Kaikokopu Road earlier than expected and detours are no longer in place. To ensure contractors can complete the final work for this repair, a 30km/h speed limit is in place.
