It was an exciting time on site last week with archaeological discoveries and a lot of rain! But the Cambridge roundabout is still full steam ahead. Here's your latest update.
27 February - 4 March
Next week we're:
Starting to build the roundabout island!
Building the median strip on Hamilton Road.
Rebuilding Whitaker Street.
Road closures
Whitaker Street will be closed for three weeks while the new road is built.
The road closure at the intersection of Hamilton Road and Victoria Street will also remain in place next week while the median strips are being built.
Thornton Road will be back open next week.
Whitaker Street will be closed for three weeks. The intersection of Victoria Street and Hamilton Road will also remain closed.
Work will begin on building the roundabout island next week!
Archaeological discovery!
Did you see the 100 plus year old drain the team uncovered last week? A team of archaeologists were called in to investigate after the drain was uncovered by a digger operator. The drain has been logged as a historical find, surveyed and photographed before it was covered and preserved for future generations.
The drain is thought to pre-date the turn of the 20th century.
The Lake Te Ko Utu gates have been carefully removed. They are currently being refurbished before they're installed at their new location later in the project.
