Two days of power upgrades

Vector upgrades in Warkworth will mean traffic detours and speed restrictions on some roads this Tuesday, February 4, and then again on Thursday, March 6.

Although electronic signs around the Hill Street junction mention works from February 3 to April 30, a Vector spokesperson said there were only two days of actual work scheduled at this stage.

Planned work includes the replacement of poles, wires and cross-arms to improve power supply reliability.

“Impacted customers have been directly notified about the planned outages to help them plan accordingly,” Vector said.

“Traffic management measures, including speed restrictions, will be in place throughout the work period to ensure safety for both residents and crews. Signs will also be used to inform motorists about the detour routes.”

Although the spokesperson could not name exactly which roads would be affected, they said any lane closures and detours would be clearly displayed on signs in Brown Road and Sandspit Road.

“We do also share information on the Warkworth community Facebook page when we can, to keep the general community informed.”
