Starting this month (February) Wellington Water are duplicating a section of pipe from Barber Grove, down the middle of Randwick Road, to the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant. This will involve a trench along Seaview Road, and tunneling along Randwick Road. It will also require the (temporary) removal of the sculpture from Seaview Roundabout. Lanes will be kept open but those travelling between Eastbourne to/ from Wellington CBD/Petone may prefer using Port Road as a bypass. Full details are available here The Barber Grove to Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant Pipe Duplication ProjectRead More →
