Pitt Street traffic switch and trenching works Dear neighbours, To ensure the neighbourhood is futureproofed for potential development, Link Alliance will be installing a mixture of high (22kV) and low (11kV) voltage cables within the road in Pitt Street. From 9 September for 10 to 12 weeks, our area of works on Pitt Street will switch from the western side to the eastern side of the road. Traffic management will be installed on the evening of 8 September. The traffic flow will switch from the eastern side to the western side of Pitt Street, with flow in both directions maintained. Our works area on Beresford Square will remain up to the western edge of Pitt Street. Works will be broken up into four areas to enable vehicle access to Poynton Terrace (managed by traffic controllers during our working hours and traffic lights overnight), the Pitt Street Methodist Church and behind the shops on Karangahape Road. Please see the map below indicating our areas of work (in green) and the new traffic flow along the western side of Pitt Street. Pedestrian access along the eastern side of Pitt Street will be maintained throughout the works. We will liaise directly with local businesses regarding loading zones and any other potential impacts.
