Frequently asked questions
Why are road closures necessary?
Road closures help make sure an area is clear so that work can occur in a safe and uninterrupted manner. Ongoing traffic management isn’t required, so work can be done quicker, resulting in less disruption and a lower cost to complete the job.
What happens if there is an emergency and a resident needs emergency services?
Emergency services will be given access during the day when workers are onsite. For after hours or 24/7 closures, a clear lane will be provided where emergency services can access a street. Emergency services are informed of all NCC road closures.
What access delays could be expected?
Times will vary depending on where the work is occurring in relation to any particular driveway, however, 10 – 20 minutes would generally be considered the worst-case scenario. Where your access is required to be closed for longer than these times (for example, to trench across your driveway or to pour a new concrete driveway/footpath) the contractor will inform you directly by coming to see you before starting work. Generally, driveway work and concrete curing will take 3 -5 days. Other work may take longer.
How will I know if there are any changes in the Road Closure dates?
Information regarding approved and pending road closures can be found by visiting: http://www.nelson.govt.nz/council/news/road-closures/. For updates about Council’s road maintenance programme, including the proposed dates/times for working on your street, please visit https://shape.nelson.govt.nz/
I need service/work done at my residence. How will this be affected?
We do understand that people may have work booked in, or need work done during a road closure. If you do, then please email us at enquiry@ncc.govt.nz and we will pass this information onto the Contractor. Once work gets underway, please discuss with staff onsite if you need special access.
What do I do with my recycling?
Recycling can be put out on your normal day, unless otherwise specified.
How will I know if my bus route is affected?
If the road closure affects the bus in your street, alternative route details will be provided in a letter to residents and posted at the affected bus stops (where needed).
Will I still be able to leave my street by car?
Unless otherwise stated, resident access will be available, but delays may be possible. The same goes for carers and courier deliveries.
Will I still be able to walk on the footpath?
Unless otherwise stated, the footpath will be accessible and if not, there will be a detour for pedestrians to use.
