Westhaven Drive road closure for Transpower cable repair works – 13 July–16 August
Transpower and its contractors will soon begin construction works on Westhaven Drive to repair a 220kV underground transmission cable. These essential works will help maintain New Zealand's national electricity transmission network.
The works are scheduled from 13 July to 16 August 2026 and will require the temporary closure of a section of Westhaven Drive between the car park entrances adjacent to R and Z piers. The road closure will remain in place 24 hours a day for the duration of the project.
What this means for customers
- Westhaven Drive will be closed to through traffic within the work area
- Access to marina facilities, businesses, buildings and piers will be maintained throughout the works
- Detours may be required depending on your destination
- Vehicles will be able to turn around at closure points
- Pedestrian access will remain available
- Cyclists will be directed via shared paths and may be required to dismount in some areas
While the works involve high-voltage transmission cables, there will be no impact on local power supply.
Please allow extra travel time when visiting the marina during this period and follow all temporary traffic management signage and directions from onsite traffic management staff.
