About the Project
We’re improving the footpath and roadside drains on Poland Road between Hillside Road and the Mitre 10 driveway, as part of our regular Summer Road Reno renewals programme.
This will make the road safer, stronger, and better prepared for bad weather.
The Summer Road Reno renewals programme is part of our ongoing investment to maintain and improve Auckland’s transport network, making roads safer, more reliable, and helping to keep Auckland moving.
By upgrading and maintaining roads across the region, we’re making them safer, more reliable, and ready to support our growing city
What you need to know
Where | Poland Road between Hillside Road and the Mitre 10 driveway |
When | Phase 1: From 7pm on Sunday 14 September 2025 (weather dependent) Phase 2: To be advised late October 2025 |
Hours of work | Night work, Sun–Thurs, 7pm–5am |
What we’re doing | - Installing new underground drains
- Replacing the old footpath and roadside drains
- Improving stormwater collection
- Laying new concrete footpath and roadside edge
- Final resurfacing with new asphalt
|
Duration | This work will be carried out in two phases, with 3 stages (broken into sub-stages to cause less disruption to nearby businesses) and will run consecutively. See below Stages breakdown drawing for information Why two phases?
• Preparation: prepares the road (drains, kerbs, footpaths)
• Rebuild: full rebuild and resurfacing for a stronger road Phase 1- Preparation work (Stages 1 & 2) – 5 weeks of night works (weather dependent) Stage 1 – 2.5 weeks – 14 Sept to late Sept Southbound Lane (Mitre 10 side of the road) Stage 2 – 2.5 weeks – Late Sept to mid Oct Northbound Lane (Fresco Shades side of the road) - We’ll replace old kerbs, footpaths, and roadside drains on both sides of the road.
- Work includes installing new underground drainage and rebuilding the footpath and road edge.
- Access to businesses and properties will be managed closely with owners.
Phase 2 - Rebuild (Stage 3) – will be carried out 24/7 over two separate weekends in late October. We will confirm details closer to the date and before any work starts. |
Why we're doing this work | Poland Road’s drains, kerbs, and footpaths need renewal.
This will help to- Improve stormwater collection
- Provide safer, smoother walking and driving access
- Strengthen the road surface for the future
- Support local businesses by improving access and safety
|
How travel is affected: | Detours will be in place from 7pm on 14th Sept 2025, so allow extra travel time. Phase 1 - Stages 1 & 2 (Night works) - One-way detour in place 24/7 on Southbound lane from Hillside Road (northbound closed)
- The southbound lane will remain open for businesses.
Phase 2 - Stage 3 - Road Rebuild. To be advised |
| What to expect | Plan ahead, follow temporary speed limits in place and drive carefully. Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times. See detour maps on this page - Business & property access will be managed at all times
- Stop/Go traffic management will be in place and traffic management controllers on-site to assist people on foot and businesses needing access.
- Some short restrictions for 2-3 days at time on access to driveways and businesses while new concrete sets for kerbs and footpaths — we’ll work with each business and property to manage this.
- Bus stops may temporarily close and move, but we’ll manage access and let bus users know. Check signs at affected bus stops & AT Mobile app for updated bus stop locations
- We know construction, particularly at night – can be disruptive. We’ll try to keep noise levels down.
- We aim to start work on time but factors outside our control, such as weather, could mean a delayed timeline. If the delay is significant, we’ll let you know and update the webpage regularly.
- Follow all traffic signs, signals, and directions for safety.
- Take care while driving, walking, or cycling in the area, especially if you live along one of the detour routes.
- Driveway and vehicle access to will be managed throughout when we work outside your property. On-street parking will be limited.
- Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
