Somme Parade from Barrack Street to Kaikokopu Road will temporarily close to all through-traffic from 7.00am on Tuesday, 2 July until 5.00pm on Friday, 19 July 2024 to allow for a stormwater pipe repair outside 131 and 138 Somme Parade by Whanganui District Council contractors.
(This work is at the site of the drop-out repairs on Somme Parade – read more about this project here.)
